The Anonymous Widower

The Cambridge Gutterway

This letter to the local paper talks about the green credentials of the Cambridge Busway.  In fact the writer is not very impressed, but as he is the chairman of CAST.IRON, which is a group that campaigns for a real rail service on the route, this is probably to be expected.  On the other hand, it certainly looks like that group may well have been right on a lot of things, including costs.

But what I like is his use of the term “gutterway” for the busway.  After all it’s effectively a long concrete channel, that has generated large amounts of cardon dioxide and absorbed lots and lots of money.
