'The north-east [of England] was served by a branch off the WCML in the 1840s. There wasn't enough capacity then, and there isn't now.''...it's a big problem with any concept of HSL in Britain that getting back out of Birmingham to the north-west involves 36 painfully slow miles to Stafford'. But we are discussing building new High Speed lines! |
