Dear Shannon
This is a lie: "By freeing up space on existing lines, for new local train services, passengers and freight, HS2 helps ease congestion and over-crowding."
You cannot free up space on existing lines when you will still need to serve all the many intercity stations that HS2 does not stop at! The present intercity service will have to be maintained.
"HS2 services will also release capacity on existing lines"
This is a lie. It is another way of saying that there will be more room for passenger and freight trains on the existing intercity line. Yet, HS2 is a dedicated line that stops at only 4 terminus stations and two airports. It shoots past all the intercity stations that will still want intercity trains stopping!
"By freeing up capacity on our current railways"
This is a lie. It certainly does NOT free up capacity when it ONLY gives preferential treatment for those travelling between the four Big Cities and two of their airports. ONLY they get less overcrowding and a more opulent, luxurious style of train travel. Levelling up for the top bods, the public school boys and girls who run the country for their class.
