I do feel disappointed in the way this thread has turned. As its title suggests, it is for information on the progress to the new line, not a soap box for naysayers and nimbys. Perhaps there should be other boards for those who dislike the routes the city's progress is taking, I know there are many (and I wouldn't want to decry their feelings - there are a few things I don't like too) and I am aware that in the past there were objections to the original railways, and similarly motorways, but time has shown their usefulness has shone through. Give HS2 a chance- its removal of ordinary express London - Birmingham (and hopefully further north) trains will give space on the existing network for improved interurban, suburban and commuter traffic, which I'm sure most of us agree is necessary.
