Caroline, please could you advise whether this group, Greens for HS2, is correct or not in what it is advocating, because the group seems to be everywhere trying to persuade people that HS2 is a good thing. I don't agree.

It seems to include trains too. Some local authorities in England do that & add other perks - like valid before 9:30. No use whatsoever if there are no convenient buses or no buses at all.

If everyone who has been grateful for the NHS over the past 75 years followed and retweeted we’d reach a million by midnight
Please take just two seconds to show you’re right behind NHS staff

The long wait for HS2
As white elephants go, HS2 is in a class of its own”. Since the high-speed rail link got the formal parliamentary go-ahead in 2012, it has become a byword for bureaucratic incompetence and waste.

Did you know the word ‘junior’ in Junior Doctor doesn’t mean young or unqualified
It’s simply the term for any doctor who is not yet a consultant or experienced GP
That includes this 40 year old who’s been a doctor for over 10 years
Please RT if you think everyone should know

I shall always remember how congressional Republicans enabled him. And conspired with him. And did absolutely nothing to stop him.

#HS2 is about 200 miles. The UK rail network is 20,000 miles. A 1% extention to the network
1/ will have little effect to most journeys
B/ The cost of adding 1% is half the rail budget for the next 20 yrs. Huge opportunity cost
Perspective is important.

It doesn't look straight, direct or fast via the Fiddler's Ferry route. I thought that looked like it was the preferred route. Who knows?!!!
Ewen Simpson retweeted
Liverpool to Warrington will be straight enough, but then on a circuitous run around Tatton into Manchester. Then if the train is Liverpool-Leeds, it runs into Piccadilly then reverses out. No kidding!
