Rejoice !!!

I doubt it will cost that much in the end, but HS2 is not just about cutting journey times, it's also necessary to cut congestion on the WCLM for example which is severely overloaded in terms of capacity right now, let alone in the next 20-30 years.

The £100 billion is a one off cost once completion, but we spend that much every year on the NHS.

HS2 will carry up to 26,000 people per hour,[16] with anticipated annual passenger numbers of 85 million.[132] The line will be used intensively with 15 trains per hour travelling to and from Euston. As all trains will be travelling at the same speed, capacity is increased as faster trains have no need to reduce speed for slower trains. The line is only for high speed passenger trains eliminating slow freight and commuter trains. Moving high speed trains off the West Coast Main Line, East Coast Main Line and Midland Main Line will release capacity for slower commuter trains. Andrew McNaughton, Chief Technical Director, said, “Basically, as a dedicated passenger railway, we can carry more people per hour than two motorways. It’s phenomenal capacity. It pretty much triples the number of seats long-distance to the North of England.”[133]

Good to see the complete elimination of leaves on the line, wrong kind of snow, signal failure, strikes, staff shortages and timetable nightmares.

Not that anyone with any sense will believe such blatant propaganda. Oh, wait......

Those things may happen on any railway line, so what's your point.

My point is that believing the shysters who run our railways, and the shysters (both in business and politics) who will make millions from this white elephant takes a leap of faith of enormous proportions. Time to face facts - they never deliver, but there's always an excuse.

Other than the project has already started, although it's early days.

It's no more a white elephant than any other high speed lines built in countries like France, Germany, Italy or Spain of which there are many.

The other benefit is that it should encourage more rail travel which is more environmentally friendly than going by air, due to the reduced journey times. Many modern trains use regenerative braking, which basically means putting electricity back into the system. A jet aircraft cannot do that, instead pumping out loads of carbon dioxide (jet trails) which is a greenhouse gas, basically CO2 emissions.

You'll be telling us next that Vodaphone 'getting off' a £6bn tax bill in 2010 was part of an international agreement.

Hilarious.


More rubbish from you
You really should check out your garbage before you post it
There was no £6bn unpaid tax bill

The £6 billion figure was entirely made up out of whole cloth by Richard Brooks at Private Eye. He looked at how much cash was in Luxembourg, applied the UK's tax rate and declared that there was thus a £6 billion bill. And if the CFC rules applied then there could have been: but they didn't and so there wasn't. Both HMRC and Vodafone have been shouting for years that there never was a £6bn bill but that doesn't seem to stop people repeating that there was.

Next time you want to post drivel, check with your wife first
She can maybe stop you making yourself look like an idiot once again.

Playing the ball not the man Jacob?

Eight years of PM having worked his way up to the position from the streets of Brixton rather than getting everything handed to him?

When a member of the Tory Johnson family put's their foot in their mouth it's usually to utter something deplorable.

Boris's dad, Stanley Johnson continued the family tradition yesterday when asked how his Idol, Margaret Thatcher, would have handled the Irish border question which is dogging Theresa May's Brexit 'strategy'.

"She would have said look, if the Irish want to shoot each other, they will shoot each other whether there's a hard border or whether there's a soft border... that's something the Irish will do".

It took George Galloway to point out that, "it's actually Britain that shot most Irish people".
