I understand the point you are making but you don't understand the difference between London and Liverpool.

I understand the difference very well having lived in both.

No one seems to know the exact figures but about 500,000 people live in Liverpool. London has so many boroughs and commuters that a train/tube system is needed. It wouldn't be Economically Sustainable in Liverpool. That is my point

You clearly do not understand. The aim is to regenerate the city of Liverpool and get its population back. Make it dense again. Providing top class transport infrastructure is one of the major keys to regeneration.

It is best to spend public money on schemes that will promote regeneration. Otherwise it will be another round of public money to tart up an area which will decline again and more money to do it again and the circle continues. Money wasted.

Public money needs to be spent once and only once on meaningful projects and the private sector then makes it sustainable, create wealth and attract people back again.
