Less risk, better delivery.
I get what you mean, but then building HS2 would take so long that whn it is fully finshed the technonlogy would be out of date, it would take until 2026 to reach Birmingham, 2032 to reach Leeds and Manchester, and who know for the rest of the nations, maybe 2040s-2050s, by then the TGV/ICE technology that virtually all High Speed Railways would be 50 years old, it is likely by then that Maglev would common by then!
