Grayling Declares Government Will Not ‘Betray People In The Midlands And The North’ And Will Deliver HS2 In Full
The title of this post is the same as that of this article on Rail Technology Magazine.
There has been talk recently of cutting back High Speed Two.
Grayling has stated that this Government won’t do that.
I meet people, who think that High Speed Two is a waste of money.
Usually, they fit into one of the following categories.
- Nimbys
- People who always drive.
- Those that wouldn’t use a train, bus or tram if it was free.
I also think that most of the reasons people are against High Speed Two are for personal selfish reasons.
So why should High Speed Two be built?
Overwhelmingly, it is about greater capacity between the North and South of this country for freight and passengers.
Although, High Speed Two will not carry freight, it will free up capacity on the West and East Coast Main Lines, to allow more freight on these routes.
