Ha 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

@ChrisMayLA6 building a modern rail network takes practice and persistence, it can't work if it gets turned off and on again every two decades.
