“£1 billion pound investment” in south-west railways by Great Western allows very little for Devon and Cornwall but does include second-hand railway carriages from London!

… Mr Hopwood admitted to the WMN afterwards that only a fraction of the money would make it to the far South West [from £1 billion promised much of which gets spent in the Home Counties and Wales]

 About £350 million will be spent on new Hitachi trains, and other investments include improvements to signals in Cornwall, and £10 million on the sleeper service.

Mr Hopwood said the Westcountry would get “cascaded and refurbished” rolling stock from the Thames Valley when trains there are upgraded.”

“Cascaded and refurbished rolling stock…!

Does that mean we go to “Cascade Shops” and not Charity Shops!
