Are you for or against the construction of the HS2 rail link?

Me, I'm not for it because I think the country is too small to reap the benefit of a high speed rail line. No sooner will it have got up to speed, it'll be time to start slowing down and like some motorways, they put far too many junctions/stops on the route. It'd be like using a Jumbo jet on short-haul flights.

Also, I think people should be encouraged to travel LESS, not more. Commuting long distances is crazy. Business meetings (in particular) should be done by video conferencing, not expensive time/money wasting junkets.

I think a much better thing to do with the money for the projected cost of HS2 would be to fit solar panels on every house. That way, electricity being generated but unused by the household could be fed back in to the electricity network.

What say you?
