Welcome to the Forum Harry.

As ever in this country in recent times we have failed to invest at the right time. In the case of High Speed Rail: The 1980's. We are now having to play catch up. The process will be further slowed by the NIMBY's.

It is an investment we have to make if we are to enjoy High Speed Links with the rest of Europe which do not involve getting to an airport. We also need the links to Glasgow and Edinburgh to speed up communication North - South to encouraged development away from the South-East.

Best wishes,

John H-T.
