A Train Line to Nowhere

Look at America’s Example – HS2 Will Only Drain Britain – and the Economy – Towards London, Yorkshire Post, October 1, 2018. "But neither commuter trains nor the fast one – the Acela – that runs between New Haven and New York can make New Haven as attractive as New York. The trains, basically, are a way to get to New York. And I fear that will be the fate of Britain’s newest tracked adventure, HS2, the fast line from Birmingham to Euston – and, latterly, Leeds. It is a curious fact that Britain, a nation that is unhappy about its existing trains, has decided that it should spend a great deal of money building another one."
