Concerning the High speed train proposal HS2 – one would assume a megalev magnetic type prime mover for energy conservation and carbon footprinting, but this type of engine takes considerable distances to build up speed and is more suitable for longer distances in places such Germany and the US.
By the time it built up speed in Scotland it would be in Birmingham thus defeating the object of shorter time for longer distance trips.
Would respectfully suggest full PIG (Problem Identification Game) before commitment including the impact this end on th tube and property prices in the North.
