"Urban area populations 158,195; 166,840; 264,601; and 95,521 respectively. So they're fairly reasonable. And Preston is the junction point for Blackpool (142,283) and Blackburn (136,695)."Like I said, pissant towns. Bother me when they have minimum, 500K urban areas, and then maybe they might be "reasonable". 100K Urban Areas are small, IMHO, and don't deserve anything beyonf (sic) regional service TGV serves lots of cities in France with populations that you have off-handedly described as "pissant". Minimum 500K? You've just cut off Marseille and its 400K. Places like Tours and Le Mans wouldn't even have a chance, under your plan . . . |
