Re: New high speed rail link ...is it worth it ?

If they reorgnised services on WCML so they do not conflict with HS2 then it would be ok to build HS2, what they could do for example:

London-Birmingham-Wolverhampton should now end end in Coventry (or maybe Wolverhampton) but should not stop at Birmingham

London-Manchester should be cut short and end at Stoke-upon-Trent

London-Glasgow should be combined with Birmingham to Glasgow/Edinburgh

all other routes will remain the same but, they might operate under a reduced timetable and they might no longer servie Birmingham New street/Birmingham International
