Hope most readers read "Transport at a crossroads" (Voice of The Argus, Aug 28).
At a public meeting in Brighton, listening to a Halcrow consultant hired by the Government to survey a possible strategic transport plan along the South Coast corridor between Southampton and Thanet, a remark stuck in my mind.
Owing to expected political difficulties in decreasing private transport and increasing public transport as a priority, the Government may have to wait until private transport increases, through more SE housing, to total gridlock with accompanying economic consequences.
Deregulation and privatisation of public transport as yet does not seem to have increased investment sufficiently to reduce huge public transport subsidies as promised by past
government.
