     Tories want to scrap wifi on trains.

     Their housebuilding plans are also all suburban car- dependant cul de sacs.

     This government is actively #climate hostile in ways big and small.

     Having train wifi means that I can get stuff done during my commute time, vs the dead time of being in a car. This makes it worth riding a train even if it takes longer. By having routes that are dead time and longer, they make a stronger case for cars

     Guardian link saying passengers care more about lateness/cancellations/frequency than having useful time on trains, therefore we can scrap it:
