I doubt that explains it well enough, but in a nutshell--reduce capacity, reduce the need to travel, and rebalance the economy to benefit smaller, more local players.

I completely get this but isnt that seen as more 'radical' than what can be implemented now-ish?

Well, obviously--most people would be against it right now. I suspect the vast majority would be against it. HS2 is still just another step in the wrong direction. It's not a question of 'do something that practicable now-ish vs. kicking things into the long grass' but of what our direction should be.

Isn't there some sort of prestige element/oneupmanship involved in traveling long distances for work or whatever ?
Those who complain about 'having' to never seem to fail to place drop.
