HS2 criticisms
Source: Lesf
Of course the NAO figures are out of date because whenever a responsible body points out the weakness of HS2, its proponents conjure up a revised case to muddy the water.
The fact is that HS2 is not the right plan for Britain. We should not blame the PR for failing to convince the public; there is only so much you can do to defend the indefensible.
400km/h? A drunken sailor route connecting a few cities to London and ignoring many others? 10 years of construction before any of it's of any use at all? No realistic chance of reaching Scotland? Little contribution to CO2 reduction when we are committed to an 80% reduction?
Come on chaps, let's start again with a sensible plan that will actually get built.
