The UK's HS2 rail system will likely cost more than £42bn to join London and Birmingham (with a bit of an extension to Crewe.) $25bn for a working moon shot is pretty good value in comparison.

  But you can go more than once to and fro London and Birmingham.

    Optimistic given the ongoing rail strikes.

      You can get there, but you'll have to take 14 trains, 7 rail replacement busses, walk 9 miles and leave last thursday to get there for christmas.
