Not wishing to derail the thread
with the subject of HS2, but Nutty, you need to do some reading up on HS2, as knocking 15 minutes off a journey time is
NOT why HS2 is being built. HS2 is being built for the added capacity, by removing the fast through express trains from the WCML onto HS2 which will free up capacity on that route for added local train services and more importantly extra freight use.
