Just playing devils advocate here, but is the issue that we are not spending enough? France has over 2500km of high speed rail, Germany has high speed lines connecting most of its major cities.
If we are baulking at 1 line (technically 2) because the money could be spent better elsewhere, should we be aiming higher and looking to spend £600billion to connect all of the UK? Or should we just forget high speed rail altogether?
