Corbyn will be having a wry smile at Tory socialism... v 2

Wow, a super-fast rail-link that doesn't go anywhere important. Good one.

I'm sure the line will take normal speed trains while they finish the full link.

Typically it's all about ******* London. The northerners just want a fit for purpose rail system seeing as the goverment are going to be taxing them off the roads soon anyway. 'Smart' motorway ANPR based toll charges, more tax on dirty diesels (now they've conned people into those even when not suitable. e.g. DPF issues due to short school run type journeys) and pretending electric cars are the solution without even the infrastructure in place to charge the ******* things. Oh and they'll cost a fortune to replace the batteries so may as well get shafted on a lease deal instead.

Just sort out the ******* public transport throughout the UK if you're going to pretend to be interested in the climate, and not some vanity project benefiting the landowners on the HS2 proposed route that are likely tory party donors. So obviously the recommendation is for it to go ahead.
