Our local paper today says that HS2 has been moved away from the edge of Aylesbury but it will still be a white eliphant.The money should be put into the rest of the system which needs the development.Get the basics right and then if the money is available build the high speed lines,we need a good network of general purpose lines all over GB these provide services people need.I totaly agree that Penderlino seats are awful the average car seat is better try going to Glasgow and back then you will see what we mean.

If it ever gets built, probably find the cost will be cut as I'm sure it will stop at Birmingham. I have the feeling it is just to enlarge the London commuter belt, anything further north will be just too far for most. In the old days railways were started at least either end and sort of met in the middle so to speak, the proposal for HS2 is to start just at the London end. That tells me something.
