Apparently all intercity trains will use the line, freeing up the older lines for freight and local trains, as the current lines are full capacity

Polarised thoughts of North Vs South. This will have an impact on the Midlands too. We have had people forced out for a train to nowhere.

For the cost and disruption, HS2 should be a web of superspeed mag-lev trains that connect ONLY the top 12 most populous cities of the UK.
