It seems that when (???) the trains finally run they have to go at a slower speed than designed as it will be too expensive to run them at full pelt. Next we will have to have a person with a red flag walking in front of the train for health and safety reasons....... Also - am I the only one that sees no attraction of going nearly-but-not-quite to London by train only to spend (I think) 38 miles of the journey in tunnels? A traditional part of a train journey is to look out of the window in my view. Don't think current journey providers will have too much competition at this rate.....
