I think it will be so expensive to buy a ticket no one will use it for pleasure , even the electric car can make it from London and back ( just ) - its a scar on the landscape for me - a vanity project thats gone out of control - but you are right could be a long wait for the stadium build

Absolutely batshit take and why we have such a shitty rail system in this country.

The point of HS2 isn't solely making it quicker to go to London. The key bit is releasing capacity on existing lines to allow increased frequency of local trains. It's just a shame this country is so utterly dumbed down by universal tabloid level journalism and the MPs it breeds that the case is never heard.

So the frequency of direct trains from Coventry to London will increase? If anything the opposite will happen and people will be forced into using HS2 at higher cost and lower convenience, all to justify its existence.

Where do you get this mad stuff?

They'll be run by different companies though, Avanti aren't going to reduce the number of trains on a profitable service just to push people to use a competitors service?

This is the bit

Hs2 provides 3 parallel opportunities for Coventry : -
 Hs2 frees capacity on the existing rail network, potentially facilitating : -
─ Faster direct WCML Coventry-London Euston services
─ Higher frequency local services between Coventry and Birmingham, and more
direct services to destinations such as Wolverhampton and Walsall
─ New and additional direct WCML services between Coventry, Manchester,
Liverpool, the North West and Scotland
─ Better connectivity between Coventry and the UK-wide Cross Country network
─ Better connectivity to expanding WCML economies such as Northampton and
Milton Keynes
─ A step-change in local services to and from Leicester and the East Midlands

Was always a way of turning Bham into a viable Commuter Town for London. Joke is, by the time it started, commuting kinda died because of that COVID thing, so it's pointless.

Anyone who's ever worked in Projects knows that if the bit you want is in a later 'Phase', it will just get cancelled and you'll never get it. Was just bullsh*t to get it voted through.

People need to get around without cars, not get from the Bull Ring to Harrods quicker. A bit sad to see people defending it. Total waste. Decades of building for marginal gains.

If it moves tax it,answer don't move!!

The rail systems in this country is on its arse anyway

The cost of tickets is a national disgrace. Cheaper to fly on any journey above 5 hours, cheaper to drive on any journey below 5

 

[steve cooper]

Like most of our infrastructure, the rail system dates back to Victorian times and badly needs updating. Trains in Europe are generally in a different league to ours, and routinely travel at around 200mph.

It really should have been nationalised long ago.

 

[Johnnythespider]

Choudry gets away with a rugby tackle in the box

 

[David O'Day]

ref shit it there as well

 

[Frostie]

Brizzle much the better team here.
Fully expect a lucky penalty for Leicester.

 

[Old Warwickshire lad]

Can see why they are doing so well,they get away with murder.

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Can’t be. enzo said the refs were trying to level things up

 

[Frostie]

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Maybe it’s cheating catching up with them

 

[napolimp]

West Brom 1-0 down. Could end the day 6 points back with game in hand.

It’s the hope that kills

The Bristol keeper is doing well. Watching on DAZN and can hear the Bristol fans constantly shouting at Vardy haha.

 

[Nick]

Looked like handball

 

[Martin180]

Leicester losing

 

[Sick Boy]

Get in!

 

[Nick]

Screamer.

 

[Flying Fokker]

Yes.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

They really are going to end up in the playoffs aren't they?

 

[HadjiChippo]

This would be a fantastic start to the weekend. Imagine doing all that cheating and still end up bottling promotion

 

[Tommo1993]

Forget about infringements and deductions. Let them fuck it up naturally.

 

[bigfatronssba]

They really are going to end up in the playoffs aren't they?

And if they do there is no way in hell they will go up. To bottle a lead like they had to end up in the play offs would be mentally crushing

 

[Balli001]

And imagine if we finished 6th and knocked them out...

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Imagining the Dewsbury-Hall tears if we knocked them out...

 

[Sick Boy]

Anywhere else on the pitch it'd be a free kick.

 

[Nick]

That was a pen.
