  • What percentage of the population can afford to travel on HS2 anyway?

    If you talk to people who live in Dover, there is a lot of bitterness over ticket prices for the high speed train to London.

    Yes, but the non-high speed line is cheaper than equivalent journeys on lines that don't have high speed. I used to go to see family in Faversham at the weekend and always opted out of high speed to save cash.

    More capacity is always good, even for those not directly using the new capacity.

  • I live in Faversham, the train prices are completely ridiculous, unless your commuting 5 days a week, you are stuck buying one off tickets at a cost of 50 quid a day.

    The non high-speed goes to the other side of london and takes 30 minutes longer.
