    The UK doesn’t need to be part of this really, there’s one link to mainland Europe (the channel tunnel) and the rest should just be sensible UK road and rail network planning. NI and Ireland already have ways to cooperate when it comes to planning transport on the Ireland of Island.

    I say “in theory” because our government just scrapped HS2 phase 2, so our rail network is going to continue to be shit for years.

      on the Ireland of Island

      Love this at what looks like 11pm on the day that’s in it as I write at 4am.

      Love you, neighbour. Sorry about the HS2 bullshit. Shambles tbh.

      How many decades has it been since THAT last happened, though?

      Oh. Same page, it would seem 😁
