The higher fares are not that much higher and this doesn't just benefit London to Birmingham, other trains going north can use the high speed rail up to Birmingham making trips to Manchester, Leeds and more faster.
I would think twice actually.

Didnt you say they £5 higher? thats significant.

On a train journey from london to say glasgow, the 20mins is even less relevant.
