On the Slow Train – and the case for HS2

27 July 2011

This week is the deadline for consultations on HS2 - Britain's new high speed line to the north. Despite my love of slow trains, i am rather in favour. It seems such a heroic and visionary  project - up there in the great tradition of Stephenson and Brunel. It's a pity that the Nimbies seem to be getting the upper hand. I don't think our Victorian forbears would have had much truck with them...

Have your say
