I'll agree we need an intelligent debate on transport but end up with have baked ideas from half-witted politicians.
Are the Manchester trams that good? I was up at the 2002 Commonwealth games and the Altrincham branch was not up to the job as a mass-transit system.
The problem is that nobody in government follows through ideas, like the national cycle network! I live in Wokingham, worked in Bracknell 5 miles door to door. I cycled in summer, but the roads are not that safe. One route involves a dual carriageway section that is a feed off a motorway, the other is a narrow back road that is a rat run at peak times even to HGV's. the other gripe is where they "build cycle lanes" they are often on pavements giving way to every side road, or go from A to B via C,D and E.
I do like the idea of knocking down shops for tram lanes. I still think we do too little flexible/home working too.

I hope to solve my commuting problems by getting a job just over a mile from where I live - 15-20 minutes walking suits me fine.
