The UK can have this.
We don't have to be crammed on buses from 2008.
People say "we can't". Ignore them, we can.
We should, and will, have nice things.

the concept of a city the same population as Bristol having a fully automatic, really nice metro network

🇫🇷 Le CDG Express reliera directement Paris Gare de l’Est à l’aéroport Roissy-Charles-de-Gaulle en 20 minutes dès le 28 mars 2027, avec un train toutes les 15 minutes.
💰 Le billet plein tarif coûtera 25 € l’aller simple et 42 € l’aller-retour, tandis que les abonnés Navigo bénéficieront d’un tarif réduit à 16,50 €.
👨👩👧 Les enfants de moins de 16 ans voyageront gratuitement accompagnés d’un adulte, rendant l’offre attractive pour les familles.
⭐ Ce service premium, plus cher que le RER B, vise surtout les touristes internationaux et les voyageurs pressés grâce à son confort, sa fiabilité et ses espaces bagages optimisés.
🚄 Avec un coût de projet de 2,6 milliards d’euros, le CDG Express devrait désengorger le RER B et réduire le trafic routier vers l’aéroport.

Great video by CityEd explaining why he likes our magnificent city of Newcastle so much.
Who can blame him.

Can't stare at this any more. I do have some gripes with the definition of a city, and only found out when I saved that I must have misspelled Valletta thus missing out a single country, but overall pretty pleased.
