Your wasting your time mate, it is no being built.

Directamente, desde el canal Doblao 😁

Did you bump your gums when the M40 was built? I bet you're a petrol-head on the QT.

Me too. I feel like it’s tearing me apart 😰😢

Do you know how many reviews it has already been subjected to?

Bothe the new railway and upgrading the existing network are needed.

You cannot upgrade existing Railway lines any more, and you cannot run 300mph trains on the same lines as 125 mph trains, Simples. The reason for this project is to improve the UK's rail network.

No it's not.

MRDA.

Very few. Virtually the whole of HS2 outside the stations is in tunnel.

So could the cost of the Elizabeth line in London, grow up the North and West Midlands need this new rail line full stop.

Which ones? Are they going in the directions people and goods want to go?

It'll grow back.

Oh do give over.

People like Packham would still complain Edit: HS2 is about capacity not speed

@@jermainetrainallen6416 If it’s about capacity and not speed then why not build regular electric lines with trains that go about 100mph?

@@christill Speed is a bonus. If you're going to build a new rail line, why not build it to a high speed with better, up to date infrastructure? Higher speeds mean better connectivity and allow HS2 to be a viable alternative to domestic air travel.

@@jermainetrainallen6416 I think the general idea is that in a world of slower travel, you don’t need domestic flights or super fast rail. And you could still have great modern infrastructure.

@@christill What? Slower travel? Really? It's more like a world of faster travel if anything. Humans didn't 'need' to discover fire, build cities or create civilisation. It's called innovation and it's what humanity is best at. Why are you focusing so much on speed?

It is not just a few minutes, it is 40 to 50 mins saved on a return journey on existing train times from Birmingham to London

​@@peterwilliamallen1063 Well Peter to many people that must be a good thing and maybe necessary for some, but one thing that the last 12 months has shown is that we don't necessarily need to travel at all, or at least not as often. Many business men used concord to get to New York in just 3 hours, but that didn't seem to matter when they scrapped it. For me, I'm not against progress and improvement, but I am against the gradually destruction of the natural world. I find it incredibly terrifying that in my lifetime alone we have lost more than 60% of all life on earth. Not obvious to most people as it is a gradual process, but really, what will be left for our children and their children? This worries me massively. So my question is this, do we really need it and is it essential? I could go and buy a big 4 wheel drive to get me from A-B on normal roads with just a couple of passengers. Do I really need it or am I just showing off and flashing my cash? The only people to benefit from this venture would be the car manufacturers and dealers as I would spend a damn sight more than I need to. When I first went to East Africa in the early 90s there was more wildlife, birds and mammals, than I can ever see now. Here in the UK I could watch a varied amount of wildlife on my doorstep, that now very sadly has gone, due to habitat loss and destruction of green spaces and trees. Many people in power don't seem to recognise that we are all inexplicably linked to the natural world and slowly we a killing our spaceship that sustains us all, bit by bit, little by little, all in the name of progress and development. The problems are getting worse. So yes HS2 is great and will be quicker and faster. It is only one more development and just a small loss of ancient woodland, (on the grand scale that is,) but seriously, would you like to get to London a few minutes (30-40 or so) quicker, or would you rather have a better future for our children and their children, where they can still marvel at the same things I saw and the things David Attenborough made programmes about, where they can live in peace and harmony and are NOT dying in a world struggling to survive, because their ancestors or forefathers just kept on destroying, polluting and killing nature? Just because they could!

@@davehilliard7 Firstly HS2 is not just for business commuters, it is also for tourist and normal rail travellers initially from Birmingham to London as it will replace 98% of train services between Birmingham New Street and London Euston allowing more local and freight trains to run on the existing line, giving you 40 mins either end of your journey will help a lot of commuters when using 250 to 300mph trains non stop in some cases and yes office workers are going back to work now. The case for nature is null and void as if you watch the official HS2 sites not other crap like Chris Packham's, you will see that as HS2 is completed new balancing lakes are being built where wild life will flourish and new tree's are being planted which will mature very quickly. As for your Kids and Grand Children in the future, well they will moan there heads of due to the negative attitude of us today not building this high speed railway and not being able to get to far distant places because their electric car has not charged properly or has run out of power and they can not find a charge point or worse still because of too many electric cars the National Grid fails, well a prime example of pollution is the Earth polluting itself with the Volcano erupting on one of the Canary Islands, that in itself is more destructive in it's own right than an all Electric Railway plus a polluting motorway. Even in bygone days of horse and carts, there was pollution when men, women, cattle and horses farted so answer that one, every time you have a Chinese or Indian curry you fart and pollute the atmosphere.

​@@peterwilliamallen1063 Peter first of all I haven't meant to antagonise you, which from your tone I seem to have done. I did ask a serious question though and that was, do you want a world devoid of wildlife and that is naturally poorer because of our actions, where people are struggling because the world is struggling, due to what has been lost? You see, I believe that HS2 will happen and it will be successful, because that is what we do. We are brilliant at finding solutions and making things work, even though we make some mistakes along the way and no matter what the cost in some cases. I am also sure that I will marvel at the engineering achievement and feel proud that Britain has a super fast train. People will not miss what they have not seen or what they are not aware of, I'm talking about ecology and wildlife here. If you haven't ever needed something then you don't miss it. That's called Base Line Syndrome. We all suffer from it to some degree. For me personally, I don't think HS2 is essential and I really think we have lost far too much of our ecology over the past few hundred years already, so I'm not against HS2, but I don't agree with all the destruction it is causing. As far planting trees and creating wetlands, that's great, but it doesn't make up for what has been lost. It can't, well not for at least 3-400 years. Not sure HS2 will still be there then. The point I was making wasn't just about HS2, it was about the destruction of nature in general, on a world wide scale. Like I said, HS2 is just a small part, a very small part, but it all adds up. Most people in the developed world cannot make the connection with nature or wildlife so why does it matter. I know because very few people can, that would include most of my friends. However, for me, I seem to be cursed as all I have ever known is the demise of our planet at the hands of man. Whether it be plastic in the oceans or the ozone layer, it all down to us. At the current rate of decline there will be very little left for our grandkids, but I really hope and pray that I am wrong. You are correct about the need for power and electric cars etc, but they still need generated power. That power must come from somewhere. Maybe we all need to stop travelling quite so much, but I also know that the technology for hydrogen powered engines has been around for about 30 years or more. Petrol and diesel has been obsolete for a long time, but the patents and designs have been bought up by the oil giants, or so I have read in credible newspapers and magazines. You are also right about the fact that methane is far more damaging than CO2 as a Greenhouse gas, but I don't think I mentioned climate change or CO2 previously, I was just referring to the loss of natural habitat and wildlife. By the way, its not just farting that produces methane, its cows ruminating as they belch up the methane. I believe there is a lot of methane trapped under the frozen tundra, that is set to escape if things continue, causing a massive tipping point, that no amount of good from HS2 will ever alleviate. I hope I'm wrong about that too. As for volcanoes, well we have always had those, pumping out lots of noxious stuff, but the Earth seems to be able to deal with it, as we have previously had lots of forests and plankton worldwide that could absorb it. You see for me, I also think that its the loss of the forests and eco-systems that is perhaps causing climate change, possibly more than any emissions, a bit like removing one of your lungs, you too would be breathless and feel the effects. Though you could still recover. So back to our future generations, I really don't think they will moan about the lack of charging points or high speed rail, those things are happening and no doubt will come to be, but I do think they may blame us for destroying the planet or damaging it very badly and causing lots of things to become extinct. They may say 'why did you allow it, could you have not done these things without damaging everything, could you not have been more careful'? 'Did you not care about us'? I feel ashamed of that and the harm we are causing, as a race that is. Now some people do care, but I also know that many people don't, or do not seem to care. Why should they? Hopefully Peter, we will have a future where we learn to repair the damage we have done and put right some of the wrongs. Nature can recover, we just have to give it chance. We ALL have to give it chance.

@@davehilliard7 Firstly, this is the problem of e mails, computers and letters, when you write an e mail it shows no feeling or compassion from the sender to the receiver, so basically I do not understand how you thought you were antagonising to me or understand my tone as all I did like you is put forward to you my thoughts and ideas on the subject of HS2 and our environment. Being interested in Geography, History and Railways, over the years of my life I have seen many things, from the smog's of the late 1950's / early 1960's, a combination of smoke and fog which lasted for days stunk of sulphur and at times made the air look yellow, this was caused by the mass use of coal for domestic heat, Rail Travel Steam Engines and most factories using coal for manufacturing, then there was the type of petrol and motor vehicles belching out blue smelly exhaust fumes and Gas lighting in the streets so the environment was an utter disaster, then came the clean air zone where by Coal fires in houses were banned and every one turned to Gas Heating or Electric Heating, motor vehicles started to have to pass environmental exhaust emission checks and factories had to change to a different kind of production not using coal, over the late 1960's through the 70's, 80's, 90's and into the 21st century the atmosphere in big Cities such as Birmingham, Manchester and especially London improved immensely to a point smog's disappeared and normal fog was a thing of the past and life became fantastic. Where I live in Birmingham, the City Council got rid of all the Victorian slums and built modern housing with loads of green areas, parks and planted hundreds of trees to a point Birmingham is now the greenest City in Europe with over 500 parks and green area, you go into our green and pleasant land and this is why I find it strange that these green environmentalist are saying that we are destroying our countries environment, which to me is a load of rubbish as I have never seen our air so bright and beautiful. My interest in Geography connects to above, when you look into the Earths History it has been destroying it's self since it was formed, with Earth Quakes and Vulcanic Eruptions over the millennia, prime examples Mount Etna, Monserrat, Vesuvius and the destruction of Pompeii and Herecleum , the Icelandic Volcano of around 10 years ago that grounded all flights in the Northern Atmosphere and the latest one, Las Palma Volcano, all these polluted the atmosphere, so basically man and his petrol car is but a tip of the iceberg to nature, even if we stopped using cars tomorrow the Earth will still pollute it's self, rising tides, well that will always happen, man should not build towns that close to a river and the Earth of millions of years has been in and out of Ice ages every some 1000 years or more, so if the Earth does not destroy it's self the Sun will eventually destroy us in millions of years time. History, if every time a modern thing that man invented was stopped, we probably would still be either walking or riding on Horses with a cart, no the Wright Brothers invented flight and with in 100 odd years we went from planes that were held together by string and could hardly get off the ground to Concorde, the Space Shuttle and vertical take off planes, trains again in 150 years we've gone from an 0-2-2 feeble steam Engine called Rocket travelling around 30 mph to trains that are now starting to travel at 250 to 300 mph, all this is called Human Progress, and Humans will not stand still on progress, hense HS2, this is for our transport needs of the future on which if we do not build it now at what cost it takes, we will go down in history as the most selfish time of humanity, because our grand kids are still travelling on Victorian designed Railways that are clogged up, and then when they suddenly think that HS2 or what ever they would call it is needed it will cost a lot more than it does now and they will hate us for our conservative ideas and think we were stupid, oh you remember I said Birmingham planted a lot of young trees all around Birmingham City Centre in the 1970's, well they matured in about 10 to 15 years into full grown trees, so when HS2 is finished and they have planted these new trees, filled the balancing lakes and seeded the railway embankments, within about 10 years you will hardly see the line of HS2, now if you built a 6 lane motorway with central reservation and two hard shoulders, now that is destroying nature and the environment, so No I am not antagonistic but fed up with people ranting on about HS2 like Chris Packham who more than like lives in a Oxfordshire Mansion driving a Bentley moaning about progress being made and more than likely has never travelled on a train in recent years, this is what you call PROGRESS for every one. These people are called NIMBY's Not in my back yard please.

Probably 69% now.
