There’s a bit of good news in here:

In the four years that followed (2018-21), the average gap in investment in rail and road decreased from 66% to 34%. During that time, seven countries invested more in rail than roads – Austria, Belgium, Denmark, France, Italy, Luxembourg and the UK – while the rest spent more on roads than rail.

But ideally we need a Wales style road building freeze across Europe. We have enough roads to get everywhere, it’s purely building for capacity now and we should be shifting that capacity to rail.

      French government: centre right (or quite right depending on which foot they step out of bed with)

      German governments hitherto: centre-right, capitalist, christian (current government trying to unfuck what was done)

      Spanish government: centre right

      Dutch government: centre right for what, a decade?

      Belgian government: lol, whatever the fuck they were up to

      Bulgaria: holy shit are they right

      Poland: kekw, do I even have to state it?

      Danish government: the “we hate immigrants” government

      What about the rest? I haven’t been keeping track.
