Really, you do seem to be missing the point of HS2, which is to provide high speed links to Birmingham and beyond, not between London and Brum.

Do you mean 2 hours to Birmingham City centre, I mean less than 2 hours (or even 90 minutes) from Sutton Coldfield (a a suburb of Birmingham) to London City Centre (if the Chiltern Station is built), so HS2 still saves time (even by building a Chiltern Station)
