Bit torn on this one. It seems such a lot of money and disruption when the whole rail infrastructure needs to be improved. On the other hand I live in a town which will greatly benefit in terms of jobs and the local economy etc.

Definitely think of how that money could be spent on the NHS and improving Social Care.

Surely it would be better to upgrade all our train lines to use them for freight. There are still lots of derelict goods yards that could be used for such a purpose, not to mention the chopping down of ancient woods etc.

Yes, HS2 should be stopped.

Absolutely yes. All this destruction of the countryside, people's homes, just to shave a few minutes off a train journey?

Seems one hell of a lot of money to be spending on something that will benefit a few? Far better things to spend it on to benefit many?
