And given Britian's population density and size, HSR makes a hell of a lot more sense there than here in the states.Debatable. Philadelphia is closer to New York than Birmingham is to London. London to Liverpool is pretty much identical in distance to New York to Boston. And there are a lot more core cities with a decent population in the USA (at least in the North-East and part of the Midwest). HSL in the UK really favors three cities: Birmingham, Liverpool, and Stoke-on-Trent. Unfortunately, these cities seem not to have grasped their unique position in promoting the idea. |
