.....and as a thank you to Mr Beeching closing down the Aber - Carmarthen line, they named a pub after him in Aberystwyth - the Lord Beechings in Alexandra Road.Originally Posted by Arthur Little
There again, in fairness to the *THEN Minister of Transport, he could hardly have been expected to've been able to foresee the vast increase in the volume of traffic over the ensuing 4/5 decades. I therefore rest my case (which had originally been raised partly in jest!).
As for the sheer volume of traffic, I agree, its needs sorting out, I would also be in favour of more public transport, but the will is not there, nor is the money for that matter. So the problem will get worse, governments will tax more and eventually, it will get to breaking point. We are not alone, the rest of the world has the same problem.
