A 19th century train station and an A road to connect us to the rest of the UK.... And people say we aren't lightyears behind.
Till these are fixed we can't compete with Liverpool, MCR, Leeds,Sheffield and Newcastle.
Still waiting for the Castle St fix. If only we'd had someone fighting our corner in 10 like a Deputy Prime Minister.
What's that you say? The Freedom Centre?
A grateful city is forever appreciative !

Our 19th century train station has far more charm than the grotty one in Leeds.
Maybe the City will have a different vibe when all the Castle Street works, bridge over to the Marine etc are completed. But I agree totally with you HT. The cities you mention are unfortunately light years ahead of us, (maybe not Newcastle) Leeds is becoming unrecognisable to the city off 10 years ago. Still, it's Hull and it's home. 'We know what we are'...
I am a big fan of Hull but the transport links are dire. I've not lived there for a little while but last time I came that hadn't changed and it won't for a long time.
However, comparing Hull with Manchester (and Leeds) is a ridiculous comparison, there is very little in common between them. Manchester and the wider area are huge and have had billions of private money and government pumped into it. I am sure if Hull had that it would be a much better place. I am not denying that Manchester is better than Hull in so many ways, it clearly is, but it's going to be due to the ridiculous amount of investment.

It’s not the buildings or the infrastructure or the investment or the local Councillors or the transport links or the sport teams or the size of it’s Concert Hall that make a City stand out above the others.
The people make the City & because of that Hull is head & shoulders above most. The people are the reason the City exceeded all expections in regards to last year’s CofC celebrations. It outshone the efforts of all previous Cities & raised the bar so high that those following will fail to reach the expectations set.
The people. Power to the people.

Completely agree but when council workers are doing it it s snails pace.
You should have seen half a dozen of them ****ing around doing a gravel path over Rocfordd Green field

Having seemingly started off with a dig at Geraghty for holding Hull back, it now seems you're one of the people with the mindset of wanting to remind everyone as often as possible how much better everywhere else is. It's people with this mindset that threaten to hold us back. Luckily the people behind City of Culture and other developments don't let you.
The people are fine - witnessed by many surprised people in CoC year.
Communications are ****. Motorway ends before it reaches the city; Castle Street/Myton Bridge are choke-points, because of all the docks traffic; no ring road to the north (or south cos of the river); no rail link through to KG and QE docks.
Vision? It's been pretty badly let down by an awful, un-inspiring HCC.

Yes me wanting us to be ambitious and aim to be as good as other cities and hopefully one day see out potential is me holding us back.... We could say the absolute refusal of people like you to be honest and open to things and take your blinkers off is the reason we are holding back! Be a no more of a stupid comment then yours or that bellend kempton
