Its a way of spending tax payers money and keeping so called logistics boffins busy! Why do they want to build a superfast railway so far from HS1 anyway. That is typically French - have a station on one side and give them a cobweb of metros to negotiate for your onward connection on the other side. Why not extend north direct from St. Pancras right up the centre of this land (sorry about using common sense here, but academics are not blessed with much common sense are they?).
