Those same nimbys now use it to get from the green fields of Kent to London in 38 minutes instead of 70 minutes; fares are reasonable though slightly higher than by the old line; it is under capacity at the moment but when DB start their direct services from Cologne to London next year it will see more use; there's complaints that the HS1 didn't quite go far enough and ought to be extended to Ramsgate.



The fares on that line are 20% more.

I'm pretty sure if you cleaned up the bottom of your garden they'd knock a billion off that price :lol:

You never fail to prove the point. :roll:

Could you do us a favour and come tour Scotland, telling everyone the advantages of being British? You should be worth a million extra yes votes on your own. :lol: :badgrin:

The West Coast Main Line (WCML) is almost at full capacity; people moan about overcrowding and delays, so the answer they all shout for is more capacity. It isn't feasible to widen the existing WCML without demolishing half of Watford and Rugby, so the answer is a new high speed line, simples. That way it frees capacity on the WCML for slower trains. Similarly the East Coast line is almost at capacity with a train every 20 minutes from London to Leeds. In my days working on that line in the 1970's it was a train every 2 hours from London to Leeds, so that shows the extent of passenger growth.

HS2 would also relieve that overcrowing on the ECML which has also been widened in places to allow more capacity.


Good post Roy get it built soon is my view :D

We must be one of the only these "european" countries with no high speed rail

Spain bought the old French TGV Mk1

the French TGV is fast but only runs south from Paris... France only ever gets invaded from the north so it wasnt planned to be a troop train.... :badgrin: :badgrin:

(go on, laugh, you know thats funny)
