Just watching the news, giving updates on HS 2, and yet again, I wonder why it is estimated it will cost at least £42.5 billion. High speed railways, most of them faster than HS2, have been built,over the last few years, in Switzerland,
Germany,Italy and the Far East, for amounts ranging from £2.5b to £4b

Am I being cynical when I feel that yet again there is a feeding frenzy around the public purse, as The Suits can see the project will go ahead regardless of opposition from all quarters?
