It’s been announced today that HS2 will now extend to Crewe
ready for the futuristic date of 2027. Now I felt that we were very much deceived
when we were told that Birmingham would be getting a new station which turned
out to be just a new shopping centre. But to have to wait twelve years to be
hurled around the country and have to be canned up like sardines before then is
just too long. What’s going on? Why the long wait? And why do we have to tear
up half of the country in the process? Surely we can just improve the
infrastructure we’ve got? If the cross-city line can close for eight weeks to
give us an extra twenty minute daily service; why can’t we have an express
train? Perhaps we could get the platforms more organised where leaving passengers
exit on one side and alighting passengers arrive on the other? Let’s get
organised.
