HS2

[Evans Electric]

I see interest has increased in the HS2  rail line again .   It will move 30,000 a day   or 300,000 , didn't quite catch it .

WHo will all these people be ?  Hurtling up & down the country at 250 MPH  every day . 

 They say London to Birmingham ...Birmingham to Leeds .        So leaving London you'll arrive in Birmingham in about 20 mins  ...but .... I believe the stop at Birmingham is over at Coleshill somewhere so you 'd be another hour getting into Birmingham Central.

Same for Nottingham, the station (Nottingham Parkway) has been built but it’s not in Nottingham.

Has Ryanair got the contract for building the line and stations.

Apparently we’re now the Nottingham Hub. If it’s a hub the wheels buckled.
