All suggestions will be treated with the utmost seriousness and the whole project could be funded by shortening the northern extension of HS2 by 1.873 metres ...

Which I travelled back in 1963 when the line was still in existence. If I remember correctly, the train nosed into Exeter, then reversed all the way to Waterloo. If you'd been in the restaurant car during the transition, you had to figure out which way to go to get back to your carriage!

And pressed the button that says 'Wrecks it'.

Could have been the Atlantic Coast Express which in my mind's eye I observe hauled by an unrebuilt West Country steaming over the bridge towards Padstow! i
