I’m amazed there hasn’t been more talk of a uk hyper loop

After all the issues around HS2, I can’t see us getting anywhere with a Hyperloop project for at least 20 years. Tunnelling seems to be on the verge of being affordable to smaller cities and large towns though, so I’m more positive about metro services coming to more places before then. Don’t expect it here though, unless some rich benefactor puts the money up out of nowhere.I’m abased there hasn’t been more talk of a uk hyper loop
Teesside airport grew under peel for four consecutive years (two of which were double digit growth years) to have record traffic levels prior to the financial crash, when operators pulled out and focussed on the larger hubs.I think that just shows how badly it was being mismanaged by Peel. There really is no reason for it not to be successful with the right management and infrastructure in place. Numbers were heading in the right direction before the pandemic and appear to have picked up recently with the addition of new routes.
I agree the secrecy is a concern, but I also understand that every bit of news is jumped on and spun immediately for policital point scoring. We must have some of the worst councillors in the country for this. Even the independents have their allegiances. Nobody will acknowledge a good idea by the opposition or a bad one by their allies.
Only with his more vocal supporters. Trolling like that makes him look immature to more sensible voters.He’s basicslly playing up to his trump-esque “anti woke, anti snowflake, anti left” voters because he knows it works
Good old Ben.£13.2m in losses announced, but don't worry, the Mayor has confirmed passenger numbers are going to shoot up from 148k to 400k plus within a year somehow so will all be worth it in the end.
You must have missed the explosion. Here's some footage I obtainedIts a 'trojan horse' to redistribute tax payers money to themselves and their mates.
theyre all at it.
any news on the 'jobs explosion' at the freeport ?
It certainly did and continues to do so in this country.Nationalisation doesn't work.
Based on what evidence? I'd point to TfL as a good example of a state owned, not for profit organisation that does work.Nationalisation doesn't work.
Used it last week.
Fantastic.
Complete opposite of the shyte hole it was before
Breeze through security, decent sitting areas, good choice of drinks and a short stroll to the plane from the building.
Miles better than Newcastle or Leeds than can both become chaotic.
I hope the public use it and it can turn a profit.
It seems to be working for the railways.Nationalisation doesn't work.
I think we just need to accept that it will continue to lose money and that the taxpayer will foot the bill. A 7 fold increase in footfall in the next 4-5 years seems like pie in the sky (or not) though.I cant see how the airport can ever make a profit
But that doesnt mean it should close and it also doesnt mean public money shouldnt be used to keep it running
nationalisation clearly does work - its probably the only way the airport is going to continue existing and as we are about to see, may well be the future of the energy market too
