The cost of HS2 is obscene and will only benefit a few. All to save a few minutes on a train ride. Social care would be a much better way to direct that money on our ageing population.

HS2 will benefit every commuter in central England and eventually the north, by taking inter city traffic off the legacy network and thereby creating capacity. It’s not just about faster inter city services, except in the minds of the short-sighted, self loathing types who feel physical pain whenever they are forced to think about this country achieving something.
