Most of the problem is that people seem to think it is just being built for those living in Brimingham & Manchester, when in fact it would mean extra services to Liverpool (in fact i suspect liverpool would get more trains if there was room at lime street for them)
I know it is planned to evenutally get HS2 to Glasgow/Edinburgh i have read some trains could get from Scotland to London in a little as 3 hours or possibly even less than that.
I know the road haulage industry are against HS2, yet Eddie stobart want to run more freight on the west coast mainline, you would think they would support HS2 as it would mean that there would be more freight paths on the west coast mainline.
