Some maths: if the Sky News HS2 report is right, then it could mean it’s slower to go from Mcr to London via HS2 Current Mcr to Ldn: 2h6m Ldn to Birm via HS2: 52m + Current Birm to Mcr on WCML 1h20m-ish = 2h12m-ish So ironically, for speed, you’ll NOT want to get HS2

This raises another question - if Mcr to Ldn via Birm HS2 is slower, there will be demand for the existing service. So are we going to run existing service alongside HS2 & WCML trains - therefore putting more pressure on the old line? Surely that negates any capacity gains?

Good on @officiallydale for calling this out. If you've got a mate who thinks this is funny, have a word. Football's for everyone.
