I'm not sure how voicing an opinion makes anyone ill-informed unless the information provided is factually wrong.

Looking at the comments from myself and aureolin, there isn't anything to suggest we are wrong.
Unless you can prove me wrong regarding train times or that aureolin is wrong by suggesting money should be spent on existing projects instead?

If you are correct and that £32billion is ring fenced solely for HS2, then hopefully it will be cancelled and the government can spend it on something else instead, something that will be worth investing in and which will benefit the entire country.
