I don't live there, and I'm not a northener, you generalising racist.

Just forget it eh!

Oh, if only we could.

Keep banging on with your mate Bramwell about how diverting the Irwell and Mersey, and infilling the ship canal for HS2 would be a cost effective plan, and I'll just watch and laugh.

None of the canal is in Manchester. wft? Manchester does not use it and appears not to want to use it either. I see no grand project to get large vessels up to Manchester, so fill it and use it for something that will propel the city forwards, HSR.

Absolute foolish nonsense, every single word.

Why do you people do that? I have not yet proposed anything of the sort. I did post a "troll/tongue in cheek" in reply to one of your posts but I am a very strong advocate of keeping the canal as a commercial waterway.

You are coming across as quite reptilian but, it is only what I have come to expect on this forum, using tactics like "can't argue effectively? then smear".

Then why give your location as Manchester? LIAR!

Deleted - no point discussing this with a **** from MK...

Fill in the Ship Canal, divert the Irwell?? This kind of drivel reminds me of this video:


"I saw a similar theory written out on a wall, but it was written in shit."


Karl Pilkington is not a one off indeed, at least two of them in here.

The salvation of Manchester depends on filling in the canal and making a HSR line out of it. The canal is not used

There are about a billion alternatives that do not include filling in the canal which are much cheaper and more practical.

???

it is used you pillock. i get stopped on my way to work by the centenary bridge going up and down to let ships through regularly. and manchesters salvation is dependent on building HSR to liverpool is the funniest /stupidest thing i've read in a long time. if you believe that you are a complete tit. don't take up a career in stand up comedy mate your jokes are a bit lame.

though i'm probably a complete tit for replying to this moron

including:

Monorail down the central reservation of the M62

Cable car suspended from Beetham Tower to the Radio City thingy

Daily EasyJet flights from Manchester Airport to Liverpool Asda John Lennon Airport

Another monorail down the bank of the MSC

Well as it is not used and of little more than ornamental value, what other suggestion do you have?

BTW, the HSR routes into Liverpool and Manchester have not been finalized and along disused stretch of man made water is just in the right place.

How much would filling the canal cost anyway? Billions! How much land would Peel gain from this compared to the land they already own on the banks of the canal? Very little in comparison.

Some good ones there.

"Cable car suspended from Beetham Tower to the Radio City thingy" What will this achieve? Along with flight from MCR to LVPL.

Cable car suspended from Beetham Tower to the Radio City thingy.

Isn't there a proposal to cable over the Thames? Maybe Beetham West to Birkenhead.

Two ships a week eh? that is one busy piece of expensively maintained water.

Manchester does need HSR to save itself. The city is floundering. I know one fella that has lost half of the value of his house in Manchester. Pretty bad.

In the real world, i'm sure it would be cheaper to just bore a tunnel from just outside the city to near the terminus.

1. HSR isn't going to Liverpool
2. The canal is not disused

The reason why a lot of the land has any value is because its on the banks of the canal! The watery bit is quite important to both Port Salford and Media City, albeit in completely different ways. And there are much more cost effective ways for Peel to gain more land. And if by some miracle HSR goes to Liverpool there are much more cost effective ways to do that. Mostly by running it on land that already exists LOL.

(I'm stuck at work killing time until my lift home arrives btw)

This thread is about a proposal to increase the traffic on the canal if you have not noticed.

It's not. It's doing much better than some other cities in this country and is well prepared to prosper once the economy improves. HSR is 15+ years away in any case.

Lol. George you need to start taking those pills again. You know the ones that the nurse says are to stop the real world and pretend world in your head getting all jumbled up?

HSR is not going Manchester city centre either. Filling in the canal will mean it goes to the centre of each.

Salford Quays is not dependent on the canal for its water.

Running new HSR line means CPOs. None need when filling in a redundant waterway.
