Does anyone else have to stop thinking about HS2, because it's so infuriating that it's been gutted? (self.ukpublictransport)

From a grand project encompassing most of England's major cities, improving connections up to Scotland and most importantly, reducing congestion on the West Coast Mainline.

To a line from Old Oak Common, to Birmingham. Total. We need to be working on HS3 and HS4 right now, not cutting HS2 back to the bare minimum. Makes me so angry.

It's painful to think about, honestly I just try to be thankful any of it got done at all.

The big advantage of the whole thing would have been linking everything via a new network. It could have all but eliminated internal air travel.
