    [Travel] HS2 to be scrapped?

    To be clear walking away from what they've done to date is an absolute no no. Given the old adage that pictures speak louder than words, I'll try and post some of the current shitshow later on in the week when I walk the dog. On my journey to work is 100 feet piles of dirt, 3 unfinished bridges...

    [Travel] HS2 to be scrapped?

    For someone who lives just South of Birmingham, I've yet to see what the benefit is. It's approximately 100 miles from Coventry to London and the fastest train takes 57 minutes which is comparable to the times from Brighton to London (which is nearer 65 miles, guess where I think the investment...
