I know this will upset Silverstrata somewhat, but on the BBC Midlands news this evening Transport minister Justine Greening, visiting BHX today commented that with the runway extension and more long-haul destinations served, passengers from Heathrow might want to hop on HS2 and be at BHX quicker that using the Piccadilly line to London. Or at least words to that effect.
Dont shoot the messenger. I am only reporting this, not passing an opinion.
