Croxley Rail Link to be cheaper alternative to HS2

Posted by Edward Aboud on Thursday, August 23, 2012, In : High Speed 2 
I am supporting an idea of the London Underground Metropolitan line to be extended to Watford Junction. Although the existing Watford station would be closed, there will be many benefits:
  • Quicker access to Birmingham from Chesham, Croxley and all train stations between Aylesbury Vale Parkway and North Harrow, by getting the Croxley Rail Link to Watford Junction and then using the existing London - Birmingham line from there
  • It will allow new proposed stations at Ascot Road and Watford Hospital,...

68% of us don't want HS2 to go across the Chilterns

Posted by Edward Aboud on Thursday, August 23, 2012, In : High Speed 2 
According to a current poll on the Buckinghamshire Examiner website (www.buckinghamshireexaminer.co.uk), 68% of us have answered 'No' in a poll which asks 'Do you support plans for a high speed rail link to whizz trains through the Chilterns on their way from London to the Midlands?' This has made us more confident about stopping HS2, although the poll only asks if people want HS2 to go across the Chilterns, and not if they support the whole idea. Go to http://www.buckinghamshireexaminer.co.u...

HS2 to cost £1 billion before work even starts

Posted by Edward Aboud on Tuesday, August 21, 2012, In : High Speed 2 

New figures show High Speed 2 is set to cost the Government £1 billion before any contruction work begins.

The figures, revealed under the Freedom of Information Act, have been attacked by anti-HS2 protesters in Bucks.

Campaigners have long argued that the business case has not been made for the £34 billion high speed rail project and wanted to find out how much HS2 Ltd had already spent on the link through the Chilterns.

The Government has already spent more than £88 million including both r...
