Apparently the West Coast Main Line upgrade (this is a train line) is complete.

The West Coast Main Line does not go to Bristol or Penzance, but it does go to London.

London.

On the West Coast.

I wonder if British rail transport would work better if someone pointed out to them that they had the map upside down.

'West Coast Main Line' is indeed a silly name - it's nowhere near the coast until well into north-west England, and is more often than not at least thirty miles from it...

I think British rail transport would work better if the planners didn't feel that (almost) everything had to go to - but not through - London.

I can't complain about the West Coast Main Line though as we live right next to it and it is a good line. It's just that frustratingly few of the trains that whistle past actually stop here!
