Re: Railways in the News
Maybe I have missed it, not paying attention to every word written about HS2, but..... Once HS2 is up and running and all the long-distance travellers swop to it, thereby releasing all this extra capacity on existing lines to provide more by way of local services etc (or so the fairy-tale goes), whe...
