How to invest in HSR

If you are a single person, a Uk family or one where your relatives are over more than one country and do not want the risks of fluctuating global investments affected I would suggest that you contact Rail future and passenger focus in the UK and HS2 and HS1 companies who can advise about the best procedures to invest and how to transfer lawfully accquired funds for lawful investment and return. The Cabinet Office in the UK is currently recruiting for someone to draw up the funding mechanisms for Transport and Bond Issues on the Stock exchange by deveolved leglislatures in the UK is in my mind the best option as it protects those building and operating them in employment under employment law and arbitration under company law at Companies House and other relevant law.

Queries about the Route

The UK Government reviewed with computer graphics and design modelling and sureveying more than one route and was able to produce and publish the final one for consultation. NO2High SpeedRail say do not query this route as it has been done according to Parliamentary procedures. However In Scotland. London, Northern Ireland and Wales devolved governance with financial variation powers in Scotland (income tax) were able to deliver investment that was sustainable.

There is thus a need for an English deveolved Parliament to do the same for HS2.

If I can give the example of the route through Hillingdon and Ealing where it is proposed to run on an Embankment to go over the Canals in Harefield and Northolt and ensure track gradients required for high Speed Running through the Chilterns at a direct route to keep costs down, could it be ammended to run in tunnel under the Chiltern Line from before the West Waste Transfer station so that there can be a London Overground Denham to Paddington / Clapham Junction Service via Greenford above it to allow for Housing developments fro returning armed services families, those from Inner London Boroughs with families and those Commonwealth states recently affected by natural disasters such as Australia and New Zealand. I have written on thsi previously.

the case for the first stage

The rail line between Euston and Birmingham is nearly at passenger capacity

If the UK economy is to revive in terms of manufacturing more frieght trains between London and the North are needed

Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire have other rail links and housing (low density) being prepared, specifcallY Evergreen link into Oxford and Water Eaton Parkway.

The G Western Main line will have extra trains from Crossrail so a new line is needed

there needs to be a link to HS1

The purpose of this blog

To advocate the construction of HS2 as part of a full high speed rail network in the UK and highlight any problems in the scheme notably in the design of the Birmingham terminus if it doesn't allow for a western extension into Wales when economic circumstances allow and after the improvements to the Newport and Bangor domestic rail networks approved by teh Welsh assembly. It will set out how the route was determined and how the public planning process and transport and works act occur.
