Does Good Rail Infrastructure Attract Investment?
I ask this question after reading this article in Global Rail News about the opening of the new Kings Cross Square in a few days time.
This paragraph in the article also caught my eye.
It’s not only the station that is undergoing a makeover. The area around King’s Cross is also undergoing a major regeneration – a project that will soon see Google build its new European headquarters beside one of the capital’s most famous stations.
So if we had left Kings Cross as it was or just cleaned it up, would Google and others be hastening to the area?
I doubt it!
Will Birmingham New Street, Leeds, Derby and Reading stations, which have all been or are being substantially rebuilt have the same effect?
We need a lot more kingscrossification!
