    Clearly it is! And anyway the canal system would not be used as a transport system for people getting from A to B. It would be for the transportation of goods.

    Ok you can have a decent transport infrastructure- good luck when house prices rise and rent prices do.

    That'll increase anyway as always, so I'd prefer it was spent on the poor or maybe the NHS

    Trust me, it'll be nowhere near London prices. For all our wonderful transport system I would much rather be paying cheaper prices for beer and mortgage

    Apart from freight and family/friend/tourism journeys, nobody needs to go anywhere for business now. Just connect digitally. HS2 is a white elephant. It will be a century or more before it pays for itself.
    Maybe I'm wrong, If so who cares!!
    It's just my opinion.:bandit:
