I had to read the whole HS2 business case once and I've checked back I remembered right. 70% of the benefit of the economic case in 2013 was based on faster business travel and face to face meetings that COVID has absolutely destroyed.
Add to that the time saving has been reduced anyway because the trains have to crawl into and out of central London (if they actually go there)...
What a complete shambles.
Imagine if that money was invested in improving railway infrastructure across the country.
