My gripe, is that the 21st Century Ludites in mid home county leafy England wish to stay in their 17th century idol and to hell to anything north of Watford! The rest of Europe and the world however.... is moving on!
Short haul jet flight will become an issue.
Europe however, over several decades now has built
thousands of miles of NEW HST track obviating the need of this short haul jet flight.
Are all our politicions all pillocks or corrupt?.....

To be honest right now I am in agreement
In France when they are planning a new TGV people WANT it to stop at their town/city and complain if it DOES NOT because THEY WANT EASY TRAVEL without travelling miles to an airport
WE in the UK are being ruled by the NIMBY generation of short sighted grumblers
and on top of all this we have the politicians who are only out to line their own pockets
going to stop now before I start saying bad words
