Metro West as highlighted is a high questionable project, be nice but no one really has been able to explain why it works, the first letter is broadly in line with policy, though the motivation might be placing a little too much confidence in the system
5 days of fairly pathetic snow does not make a business case to open a rail line, the WRC crowd are getting ever more desperate. Its not as if the rail system worked perfectly during the cold patch, trains were failing all over the place.
What we need to move forward is a solid case based on repeat daily business - paying commuters, not once off events, grannies on free travel etc.
