HS2 was doomed from the start, the costings were only on paper and no one actually went out and looked at the reality on the ground. It should have started up North connecting Newcastle, Leeds , Manchester and Liverpool. Once again Southern folk making decisions that affect Northern folk ballsed it all up. No one up North wants to get to London quicker but would like to be mobile in their own area, the freight argument is for the bit between London and Manchester but the cost out ways the benefit. As for the train system in this country it has to be the most expensive form of travel on the day per mile with electric car charging a close second, all the industrial action makes it even more unappealing coupled with more hybrid working patterns for lots of folk they now don't need them.

The idea of the London to Birmingham line was to shift money from the South to Birmingham. Hence banks moving there and a real emphasis on business and property being built near the new station.

Spending upwards of £100b on 200 year old technology!

That was built at a fraction of the cost ( in todays money) and 10 times faster without modern machinery and without 50 mles of access roads. Go figure that one out!

It easier to just tell everyone to piss off cos you’re the government in 1947.

Everything was so black and white back then wasn't it

Posh folks moved entire villages at their whim to improve the view out of their window. Hacking a line through the countryside using labour they had to pay little to and offer no employment rights to would make that pretty easier.

Biggest problem getting the initial railways built was fear of new technology. Suddenly changed their mind when they were told they could all have shares and make a fortune....
