KL-SIN rail link still in the frame
A high speed rail link between Kuala Lumpur and Singapore was proposed some years ago, but has made little progress. A new article is arguing for it to be revived: now is the right time, with low contract prices and a need for productive employment.
It could cut travel times to 90 minutes - well below what it takes, centre to centre, by air.
The air route is a very busy one: the new rail route would free up valuable slots at Changi.
It is likely to be a privately funded railway.

"Travel in London" - access times to Heathrow
Transport for London has published Issue 1 of "Travel in London", an excellent statistical description of what's going on in London on the transport and travel front. It replaces the former "London Travel Report".
At 224 pages, it's not something I've completely finished reading yet. However, on Page 186 there is an isochrone map of travel times by public transport to Heathrow Airport which I found particularly interesting. It's part of a short section on "Passengers using London's Airports."
I look forward to reading the rest.
