If the Sitwell Arms is in the way i wonder about the golf course?.

I've uploaded some local routes to a webpage.
The page should be scrollable left/right.

J28 to Poolsbrook
Poolsbrook to Renishaw

I notice a branch to an "infrastructure maintenance depot" at Staveley - that'll bring jobs, surely?

Just seen this article on the DT website.
It just shows how a proposal for something 20 years in the future can screw everything up now.
Especially involving the work to the canal around Staveley. Who's going to fund a dead horse.
I'm getting more and more against this HS2 idea as the weeks go by.

Update from Derbyshire

Have you seen the route? Straight across the runway at East Midlands Airport!

[Fly]

Not actually seen that one. Have heard rumours Derby wants to be included.
Might be 'under'  East Midlands Airport

[Old Cruser]

That sounds interesting Dave - if that does happen it must mean they have plans for where the current E/M airport is??

[Old Cruser]

There will always be some for and against the HS2.

Not quite LOL

The Guardian published a poll today - how many people want the HS2 project to be scrapped?

The result, so far, is 75% want to scrap it - 25% want it to proceed.

Do you think Cameron will scrap it - or would that mean a lot of missed profits for his mates in big business?

[Fly]

I don't think they will scrap it. Lots of money to be made. Including workers to be fair 

Wasn't it rumoured that George Bush Senior was running the company that got the contract to help re-build Bahgdad after his son bombed it.
Makes you wonder at times what's going on in government 

[Pete]

Why not give the workers half a mill each - we'd still save money on the deal - except some of the richest people in the UK would not get any richer...

[Fly]

I'd love to have that much money Pete, I could do what and when I like.
When does that idea start to turn into an obsession cos you want more than you have though.
I think that's called greed. Me and Our_Lass work for a living, just like many other good people.
I can't see where HS2 is going to benefit the likes of me, you, or any other member of this forum.

"Turning a corner", ha ha ha. Get real Osbourne. Just seen the  9 oclock news.
Another Tory ar** wipe.

Labour throws HS2 'mismanaged' rail project into doubt

Ed Balls says HS2 has been totally mismanaged and promises there 'will be no blank cheque for this project or any project'

More common sense from the Labour party.
