    The proponents of HS2 have really shot themselves in the foot by concentrating on the speed aspect - 10 minutes off the time to point A, 20 saved to point B etc.

    This is really about capacity, the West Coast Main Line is bursting. Virgin have asked to run 3 or 4 trains a day from London to Blackpool, there is no direct service at present, you have to change once or even twice. The Office of the Rail Regulator have turned it down as the no room.

    So it's £50 billion, so what, in terms of defence spending it's peanuts. And it will create jobs.
