The rail thing

Comment

For HS2 read H2S, treat it as you would any toxic material. It appears to me that the idea was born in London, is driven by people in London, some of whom are just on another Westminster ego trip. It’s the rest of us, not in London, that will be suffering the all the consequences of such a folly as it sucks all the cash out of more worthwhile projects. If those in London are so desperate to build a railway why not just use one lane of the M25 to do it. The whole of Westminster could then be placed upon it driven round and round until sense was rediscovered. Forget about HS2 (H2S) spend the cash on improving what we have on the west and east coast.
