The same refrain we've seen for 30y on the climate groups.
".003% of the atm cain chang nuttin!"

Top reasons why Mr Stephenson's "railway" will never work:
(1) The project will drain the King's treasury.
(2) The noise will scare the cows and sour their milk.
(3) At 37 mph air will be sucked out of the passengers' lungs.
(4) The vibration will injure passengers.
(5) The common people will be encouraged to come to London.

UPDATE:
In 1830 then-PM Wellesley opened the first Liverpool to Manchester line.
Almost immediately there was a fatality -- Liverpool MP Wm Huskisson 
(Tory) tried to cross the track just as "The Rocket" arrived.  
It's a matter of debate whether the accident was caused by the fact Liverpool 
and Manchester were then in different time zones, some 5 mins apart.
The Great Western Railway ushered in the era of standardised times.
