High speed train to Birmingham

[Ali]

HS2 which will connect London to Birmingham and later connecting to erp north will run through tunnels for parts of the line to protect the country-side.

Which will mean that before too many years pass we will all have an option of routing through Rennes/Paris/Channel Tunnel and through the UK

With the future TGV link from Paris/Rennes and into northern Brittany things should get even better.

So why have they just spent a fortune on the new Portsmouth ferry terminal?

Cos for lots of us the channel tunnel is just tooooo far away!

sad but I don't think it will ever get built, this government hasn't got the nerve to go against its own.

Unless they wait for the euro to hit real rock bottom and employ the French to build it.......... ??
