No the spending would be lower if there were more fares income.. The figures are also total, revenue and capital so the lack of reduction in spend is probably due to HS2 spend ramping up.
Yes this is the problem what the ONS may technically define as rural varies widely from the public view...
What about the Vettel Red Bull years and poor old Mark 'Multi 21' Webber.
One of my personal experiences of Mr Horner that sums him up was after a Young Driver Test at Silverstone. I was a guest of Lotus\Caterham and had spent the day in the pits\hospitality. After the session the pit lane was...
I'd spend my time trying to change the system to how it should be as I'm not sure what 'dealing with the system means'
Why do Guards need to leave the train to issue a PF? As regards ignoring them presumably the customer does the same if the guard tries to charge them a full fare too?
There...
Not sure that that is relevant as it is my opinion that your language is hyperbolic. There are lots of other reasons, punctuality and reliability probably rating highest with overall price a wider driver, why people are being driven away from the railway rather then a slight change in penalty...
You must live a sheltered motoring life, there are large numbers of suspension components replaced every day across the country, drop links, ball joints or whole suspension arms, and the somewhat modern plague of cracked\broken springs.
The following table shows the most common MOT failures...
So having to hit a to the minute time slot at a distribution warehouse while ensuring at least 45 minutes break after no more than 4 hours 30 minutes driving isn't time pressure. With your off shift time also being monitored isn't pressure? The other poters idea of extending digital tachos may...
Yes but the other poster proposed expanding digital tachos, the main users of which, lorry drivers, you described as not particularly time pressured so what is the problem?
Sounds like you've been very unlucky with ICEs most cars are scrapped due to accident damage or rust.

Brake pads, shoes and discs are a throw away maintenance items. All cars have bodywork, electronics, suspension, axles etc.
In your opinion it is a non starter and in your opinion at would make aggressive drivers worse. Are train drivers or bus divers dangerous because their driving to a timetable? All the lorry drivers out there on tachos are they a danger too? Or are the non tacho van delivery drivers worse?
Would charging per minute or by any other quanta of time really encourage faster and aggressive driving? There enough aggressive drivers out there already.
In my experience devolving something as complicated as you suggest to district\borough councils is a non starter. They are at best left to entering Britain in Bloom contests or installing Geoff Capes novelty shoe buffs on Marine Way. There is definitely a place for more devolved governance in...
Well if we take £48bn as the full that means roads are getting the same level as subsidy as rail then. The other element that seems to be being ignored in this talk of externalities is the amount of economic activity that is enabled by road transport. Surely that far out ways any cost.
Does the net £25bn a year income to the exchequer of VED and Fuel Duty not account for you externalities. On specific areas the NHS recovers over £170m pa from personal injury accident insurance claims, police issued FPNs raised over £250m pa and the existing London ULEZ raised over £200m last year.
I already new the answer to my question. I was trying to highlight that the seamless experience someone may experience with a top of the line Tesla, industry leading range, extensive fast charger network integrated to car maybe somewhat at odds to someone owning a more affordable EV.
