HS2: High-speed rail link 'to be approved'

[Joshua Farrell]

A government-backed report has given the clearest signal yet that a new high-speed rail line between London and Birmingham will be approved.

The Network Rail review has looked at two alternatives, favoured by many opponents of the £17bn HS2 scheme.

It concludes both will cause major disruption without solving the longer-term need for greater capacity.

The government is expected to make its final decision on the controversial £17bn HS2 scheme next week.

Since I don't live in the UK, what do those of you there think of this?

Personally, I have never been on a High-Speed Rail, even though there are High-Speed Rails in the U.S.

It will cut through somewhere near where I live. the government in the UK are oblivious to real problems facing their people. I am against HS2.

I live near this aswell, people in my area seem pretty mad about it. Although personally, I don't care as I never go outside, lol.
