    This was always known to be the result of cancelling by anyone that has been paying attention.

    HS2 is direly needed infrastructure work that we’ve needed since the 90s

    We are at capacity on the west coast mainline, this makes everything more expensive, not just rail, as it’s an important freight route.

    Short sighted

      Don’t worry, as we continue to price people out of rail travel (poor people were priced out years ago, we’ve almost cut the whole lower middle class out too, just a little further, I believe we can do it!), fewer people will travel and that’ll reduce the hit on your capacity.

      All part of our genius plan 😎🍹
