The only way you can really do joined-up transport policy is to create a brand new capital somewhere...
Like Berlin?
OK, not exactly new, second time around at the job, but they did managed to create the stunning new Central Station.
London already has too many terminii as it is. We can't expect to bring them into one, but it was shockingly poor thinking to use the old shed of St Pancras for the terminus of European services, instead of a through station.
A real case of style (it is beautiful) over substance, and now we get the totally botched thread of a link between HS1 and HS2, which will no doubt get quietly dropped when they realise it can't work. Ditto for LHR HS2 link.
Now Boris wants to extend Xrail out to STN and have another runway there. How many schemes has he backed now?
