Tim Ward โญ๐ช๐บ๐ถ #FBPE@ChrisMayLA6 Well, they've been telling us for a long time now that #HS2 is about capacity, not about shaving a couple of minutes off journey times. But they could avoid this sort of confusion by renaming it, I suppose.
Emeritus Prof Christopher MayHa ha ha.... the disgrace that is HS2 just gets worse.
Now, to save money the Govt. has decided to reduce the top speed of trains on the new lines (thereby reducing the specifications of the system & making it cheaper to construct).
Whatever might think of the original conception of High Speed Rail, this project has demonstrated the difficulty the UK in actually delivering infrastructure projects (and specifically railways).
Just ludicrous
