So the usual half-arsed British answer which achieves none of the
desired objectives and ultimately costs far more than doing the job
properly in the first place.
So you think spending 100B+ on a railway to shave off 30 mins for pax
trains
It's more than an hour for many destinations in the Midlands.
Which ones?
Birmingham to Leeds, 1hr 9 mins.
Wow, so a ~2 hour journey becomes ~1 hour. Well worth the money then.
You'd say the same about a road scheme which produced the same journey time
reduction, presumably?
Depends where it was and how much it cost. If it cost 100B then forget it.
