But like lots of large infrastructure projects the UK is quite small, you can't do the thing without badly disrupting people "in the way". This can be less of an issue in larger countries where it's
1)Easier to build around people
2)Anything to improve connectivity is welcome for the large distances covered.
That's the attitude the north always gets.

Scrap it I've heard enough.
