Building HS2, Metro and Sprint are NOT green jobs!

Is it really a green, ecologically sound job to be building a high speed railway line for a small minority of wealthy business people to travel between only four English cities and two of their airports?  Especially, when everyone else will still have to stick to the more mundane, ordinary, existing but, perfectly fast enough intercity service?

Is it really a green and an ecologically sound job to work on the second most expensive transport mode after HS2, when it simply results in, again only a small minority of people in Edgbaston within walking distance of the tram stop who do have a more direct and quicker service into the city centre itself?  Everyone on the 11 different bus routes either have a longer, slower route if they stay on the bus or, they get off and wait for the tram to take them on to Colmore Row on the edge of the city centre.

Is it really a green and an ecologically sound job to be building a First Class Sprint bus line from Walsall to Solihull?  Solihull that already has the basic transport modes of bus and train, plus the highly expensive, climate worsening HS2, Metro and the bus that thinks its a tram, Sprint.
