Sound like a good plan if they stick to it.

It's encouraging that they are going to get the Network Rail and Highway Agency to commit to participating. In the UK, the railroads are developed beyond the average US citizens imaginations. My husband and I did a little traveling, last summer, through the UK. In England we had our rail pass and that's how we moved around the country. All along the tracks were wild butterfly bushes in bloom. Some of the rural train stations were beautifully maintained with flowers and yes, honeybees were working those flowers.
A quote from the article:
"for government to deliver tens of thousands of hectares of restored wildflower habitats in the countryside, creating a network of B-Lines so that pollinators can move across the landscape effectively. "
That's an interesting phrase: B-Lines.
