General   (General discussion, talk about anything.)

Although I have supported the concept of HS2 with an eventural all the way route to Scotland in years to come, I now have to question why so much money is being spent on a small section of the proposed route between London and Birmingham and the section to the North West cancelled, especially when there are two motorways of the M1 and M40 connecting the two cities and a exisiting rail line between London Euston and Birmingham New Street?

The other countries that have High Speed Rail lines must be laughing their heads off at what goes on in our country where the planning of rail travel is concerned and the decisions of our governments is concerned.
