Why HS2 is needed – now and not in the distant future

Another day and more problems on the West Coast. Signalling problems in Staffordshire mean yet more cancellations and delays. This is not a rare occurrence and you are left with the unmistakable conclusion is that this is a rail line operating on the absolute edge.
Despite the billions that were spent the system monotonously falls over.
Sticking plasters cannot do the job.
We simply have to build more capacity, delivered by capable engineers and by operators that are customer focused.
