they may be all of those things who knows, but one life lost seems a high price to pay. they have been in situ in Euston square since september, because the plan is to remove the trees from the park bit outside of the station, at least that is what i believe they have protested over, you would think that the law could and should have removed the protestors before now. and since then have built a tunnel in two months. Something fishy about this whole matter.
thechair, rubbish, this is not vanity it's necessary, the speed is irrelevant the extra capacity is what is most needed. Do some research instead of swallowing the baubles. The mistake was calling it HS2, so everyone thinks the effort is about the speed it is not.
Are we talking about the keyboard fascists on Answerbank? At least these people are actually taking some action for what they believe in rather than lazy couch potato nay-saying dullards.
Why? You support lawbreaking? It’s a good job their likes were not around in the second half of the nineteenth century when most of the nation’s railways were built. I don’t think it’s too well appreciated just how much the development of railways contributed the this country’s success.

No it doesn’t. They know they will not be harmed.
//HS2. A useless and inordinately expensive vanity project, set to destroy acres of ancient woodland for no tangible gain. //
Apart from the link from London to the Channel Tunnel (HS1) there has not been a main line railway worthy of the name built in the UK since the end of the 19th Century. As much as the tree huggers like to deny it, people and goods have to be moved about the country and railways are the most efficient and environmentally friendly way of doing that. HS2 provides additional capacity that is sorely needed to enable that.
