If you have a new "fast" line then you can run the inter city traffic on it, and leave the other line for improved local services.
Hire a car(40 quid) or fly (hire a plane and pilot).
railway companies, ..., are all subsidised.
The bus from Cambridge to Birmingham costs £13 - why bother to drive yourself?
Must be something fundamentally wrong with the technology.
QuoteThe bus from Cambridge to Birmingham costs £13 - why bother to drive yourself? Because of knees round elbows, because of 20 stops, because of an average speed of 20mph.......Because of 40 strangers farting in an enclosed space. You forgot that a car you have to provide fuel so 100miles 15 qiud infuel too, minimum 55 quid.If a coach had a load of 10 people that would mean a single seat double length. That would be quite good. 10 people would mean pretty direct too so birmingham to cambridge in 1.5 hrs 50 quid at an outside estimate seems good. Only 10 people farting too !!!!!

Do you know you can have a tunnel to ireland for 50billion ? Probably far better use, something like 70 percent of irish stuff comes this way.
Nor does the train under consideration, unless there's been a major earthquake that moved Birmingham to Liverpool.
completely irrelevant to HS2.
