- AndrewDucker 7y ago"So why not make HS2 more like HS1, by allowing it to perform shorter journeys for frequent travellers" Because the whole point of HS2 is to increase capacity by taking the high-speed long-distance trains off of the existing lines, where they get in the way of running local stopping services (because everyone has to get out of the way of the high speed trains).
