    Aren't we just having banter and voicing some alternative to solutions to problems? Yes I agree I would be the first 'batch' of enforced sterilisation, I wear tracksuits and am immune to exercise ;) so how about getting prisoners to build the new HS2 track? America use chain gangs? Wouldn't that save a little money?


    Save even more - don't build it.;)

    Improve existing lines/infrastructure/making routes more flexible to appeal to more users.

    Saving 20/30 mins on a commute into Euston pales into insignificance if you then have to trundle across the city, with all the other public transport dead time.

    Will it benefit the North? £2 retuirn, over an unspecified time for a soft cost of £1 doesn't seem that good or achievable. The cost of necessary links at teach end of the line isn't included in costings. Expand Manchester/Birmingham Airport at less cost probably have the same effect.

    Anyway I digress.

    When the HS2 become a reality would this not open up greater use of the railway system to more controlled freight being moved from our highways to the rail network ?

    This then would then make our journey on the roads faster with the absence for the need for more heavy goods?

    People with low IQ should neither be allowed to vote nor be allowed stand in election and become MPs :)
    Happiness is buying an item and then not checking its price after a month to discover it was reduced further.
