My favourite compliant is that 'we' - whomever that refers too - won't see the benefits for 20 years. Well, if we had made this decision 20 years ago they would be ready now. It's also the constant provincial whining that is delaying this for so much longer anyway. Besides this is a step in addressing an imbalance in the country anyway which so much being in and around London, high speed rail will help reduce that imbalance. Yet we still get the whining because the professional complainers want to moan about lack of investment, moan about London-centric policies, and moan when the infrastructure comes near to them.
