Most sane people can see that we have needed this for years and the Y shape is the right way to go. with hopefully a trans pennine route later in the offing
Well said j0hn0. We really cannot afford the time it took to get the Channel Tunnel Link past all the protestors. This project needs to be under construction within the next ten years, otherwise we run a serious risk of falling far behind many other countries in the world in the development of modern high speed links. A terrible irony for the country that gave the world railways!

Best wishes,
