HS2

I’m deeply sick of the vanity project called HS2. And today Simon Jenkins has a piece in The Guardian also decrying the project.

I’ve been saying this, or something like it, since the outset. This money could have been (and still could be) much better spent on upgrading the existing rail infrastructure across the whole country and likely at half the cost. Instead we have a Tory party (from recollection it was George Osborne) vanity project, which has conned every successive government, and for which IMO there was never a business case. It’s not too late to pull the plug and avoid an even greater waste of money and environmental destruction for something we don’t need.

Moreover we must be the laughing stock of the world when it takes us 30+ years to build a railway line.

I despair of this country!

Just read this - and the following four parts - out loud to my wife while we've got the darts on. This is old-school blogging. This is the proper stuff. This is what Google forgets when it wants to be an information abstraction and gatekeeping layer. I don't just want information. I want to find real people's experiences. You can't aggregate experience into fiction.

Anyway, loved it is the summary. Great trip, great write-up.
