Title: Misleading headlines Post by: grahame on November 03, 2014, 19:52:50 Quote Railway lines between Bristol stations to be doubled The Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport https://ciltuk.org.uk/News/LatestNews/tabid/235/ctl/NewsItem/mid/589/Id/4493/Default.aspx And even when you get into the article Quote Demand for rail travel into and around Bristol is on the rise and it is estimated that in less than a decade, it will increase by half its current volume.
