The thing is, Frame already has a lot of high speed rail, and has done for decades.

I have to admit I’m surprised how fizzing mad I am about all this. Over many years, I’ve gone from supporting the Conservative Party, to giving them the benefit of the doubt, to refusing to support Labour under Corbyn. But I’m now right out of reasons to go on giving my vote to this self-interested shower of charlatans.

All the Tory Party will have achieved by the time the line opens is to have extended the north London commuter belt to Milton Keynes. Given how much of it they buried underground to keep their shire voters happy, they might as well hand it over to TfL and let people ride it with their Oyster cards.
