Default (Times): Britain to have fastest train service in the world within 12 years

(Neil Williams) auf uk.railway :

Although, I am not convinced that a Central London (Well Camden)
terminal is impossible. Accessing Euston with its spare capacity
would not be that difficult.

Not having a terminus in Central London seems to be madness, as you'd
lose a lot of time getting to/from the terminus by creakingly slow
LUL/LOROL.

Do all Londoners live within the immediate vicinity of Euston Station
or St. Pancras?

Or do they not have to get to/from the terminus by creakingly slow
LUL/LOROL or even buses?

I would suggest not build one single line from West London with four
tracks, but rather several lines which terminate in different places.
If the West Midland line starts at Heathrow, how about a line in the
East starting at Stratford Int'l with a thru connection to Ebbsfleet
Intl'?


Cheers,
L.W.
