I have no doubt that an HST set will be preserved and hopefully on the mainline. There is a group already working towards this. gathering spares etc.
As far as electrification is concerned it is the only way forward for the foreseeable future. I personally hope that the Midland Mainline Electrification goes ahead. I also think that the GWR electrification will go ahead. I am sure Brunel would approve! In fact I am sure he would have done it if the technology had been available.
Electrification should get more planes out of the sky and that would reduce pollution!
As a visitor to high mountains I can assure that glaciers are in full retreat! When I flew over Greenland on the way to California last April, glacial retreat was also evident even though it was still covered in snow!
Best wishes,
for Christmas and 2010,
