HS2 is all about capacity and segregation. Despite what some people keep saying speed and time savings are a side effect not the core reason.

Absolutely correct

I think he was just auditioning for the new cone head film judging by the photo. The man continues to be an embarrassment, he likes the benefits of being the PM just not the work.
