Making a new line useable to locals would be overly expensive and miss the point of having a high speed line. The transit time from London to Birmingham will be so quick that once you get UK trains scheduled in to the timetable and add in the European trains that UK plc are anticipating operating from afar then frequency of trains passing each way might get a bit of a nusance. I dont think it would take long for the railway companies across EU start looking to attract customers away from airlines at all costs.
