Just think that when it is being built - not one company will come from Britain.

There will be major contractors after this plum contract, but the homeowners will be offered pittance of a compensation.

Some of the houses in the area where l work are worth millions and the residents have spent time on money making it homes to live in, and yet this government will tear it to pieces.

In other countries where we have super fast trains, the landscape is great, BUT we are talking about Britain here - and the government wont be a hoot about anyone as they know they will get money back from it, with all the plum contracts.

It also reminds me of the M25 near Chertsey, they expanded the lanes, and destroyed the whole landscape and what has it achieved - Nothing, we still have problems there.
