HS2 - Benefits beyond the line itself...

I have always been on the fence regarding the need for HS2, but if what this guy is saying is true I may climb of the fence on the side of HS2.

Gareth seems to know his stuff and as you header says " benefits beyond the line itself" Thanks for posting Cad

Personally I think it would be better to open old railway lines, With the technology We have today People can communicate easily with each other. To go from Wigan to Hindley o bickershaw By road takes How long? By train it used to take 6 or 7 minutes to Hindley South station, To Bickershaw & Abram station it took 11 minutes.

Good informative film

Ticket price for HS2, Manchester or Liverpool to London, is forecast to be around £240.00.
You can fly to London from Manchester or Liverpool for less than half that, and it only takes 20 minutes!

I can imagine large, people carrying drones in the not too distant future. I'm sure someone is working on that at the moment. HS2 will not be used especially at that price.
