must also remember the market is to some extent European thanks to the interconnectors, so even if the was overcapacity in UK, if someone on the continent was prepared to pay a high price for UK generated energy that can also help set UK prices What the price does not do (or at least often do)...

Also it's presumably £90.91 when operating, i.e. windy enough. How are costs such as providing battery backup and providing an alternate energy source backup counted for when comparing off-shore wind costs vs other means to constantly supply the countries energy needs?

I suspect the winners will the the consultancies getting paid the 1.1BN

Surely there is a more or less known design for previous 2a scheme so you'd only even think to deviate from this if you were very sure you can find some significant savings worth to go through a certain amount of re-design

How do prices compare to current prices we pay, how much will be needed to connect these into the grid (on top of what is already budgeted) and/or provide battery backup so the turbines turn as much as possible? For me UK has 2 issues: 1 energy security where this obviously helps and 2: very...

a statement which is wholly opinion and probably totally unprovable!

what's the next step, i.e. what is the next part of the money allocated going to do, ground survey for example? Or still in modelling of something phase?

If the trainsets are 200m long and not 400m long does that mean some other maintenance options are available and not just Temple Mills as a 400m long maintenance road (or whatever the terminology is) is no longer a requirement?

what is the point of that big sweeping bridge when there seem to be one or two underpasses that do the same job?

I suppose there is a very good reason why this wasn't done at the same time as the recent Stockport blockade?

She can find offense in anything, something you'd have thought Corbyn might have seen coming On the other hand given the other MP's in the group she might have seen a 'boys club' as being quite likely

Schiedam, although much more obvious when at the ground than on a train

If the additional services (or capacity with a E* double deck train) are in part for Paris & Brussels is there also capacity to process and room for additional passengers to wait in those stations? I.e all the discussion here is about St Pancras capacity & space but is that the only such issue...

meaning, when comparing outcome vs forecast it is important not just to measure the journeys but also the revenue (or the price paid per journey). Only that gives the full picture

this idea does seem to have a lot of merits, to me a good example of thinking pragmatically vs thinking as big as possible

I do find it quite surprising that, if it was a bit of a 'no brainer' this hasn't started already. Or maybe it has (at least preparations) and the info is not public

and what's more you are far more likely to be able to fill the batteries on much cheaper (overnight) energy

and the u-bahn!

and what if that's not worth them giving back?

and if they take several D-ticket journeys they won't be paying anywhere near as much for the regional and local services either
