UK Rail to get 1000 new Carriages

The government have announced that the UK rail network is to get 1000 new carriages to ease congestion.

Sounds like good news except that:

1. Surprise, Surprise, the vast majority of these are destined for the government’s pet part of the the UK - the South East of England
2. We won’t have all of them until 2014 - That’s seven years away - they are needed now.

Once again, too little, too late, and the south-east gets preferential treatment.
