- chrisseaton 4y agoWasn't that about the northern parts that they aren't working on right now? The lower parts that are going ahead with now were about capacity. "The government says that HS2 will free up capacity by taking the long distance trains off existing lines and on to the new high speed line." That's what they were talking about in 2013 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-24159571 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-24159571.
- benj111 4y agoI seem to recall them talking about it as a whole? Maybe I just received the northern targeted sales pitch.
