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.
