"Is this not the Biggest White Elephant Ever ? Why not build Coastal Motor Ways to revive our resorts and Ports instead ? Imagine a Moterway linking Hull to Newcastle ?" Lack of demand has most probably been a major factor  | |||

"Is this not the Biggest White Elephant Ever ? Why not build Coastal Motor Ways to revive our resorts and Ports instead ? Imagine a Moterway linking Hull to Newcastle ?" Is it any coincidence that all that traffic would then avoid the A1(M) and Wetherby? | |||

"Is this not the Biggest White Elephant Ever ? Why not build Coastal Motor Ways to revive our resorts and Ports instead ? Imagine a Moterway linking Hull to Newcastle ?" Yes a complete waste of money,we need a rail link from Liverpool through Manchester,Leeds and Hull but as allways the North West is ignored.Also third runway at Heathrow is wrong,everything is for London and the South East | |||

"Is this not the Biggest White Elephant Ever ? Why not build Coastal Motor Ways to revive our resorts and Ports instead ? Imagine a Moterway linking Hull to Newcastle ?" I am....but there is a reason why there's only one road in and out of Hull. | |||

It's because of the Eu When the UK leaves all of its inhabitants will totally agree with one another for the countries direction and what ever government is elected the will only do the exact will me the people , thus your motorways will be agreed and built in just over 9 months time xxx | |||

"The West Coast mainline is running at virtual 100% capacity. Yes, platforms can be lengthened where possible and certain stations may get longer trains increasing capacity slightly, HS2 immediately doubles capacity (if not more) by adding entirely new track and rolling stock. If you are going to build a new track - should it be build to modern standards in order that large trains can run fast, efficiently and at maximum capacity or do we build more Victorian era rail track and use out of date rolling stock? The extra capacity is needed anyway - so why not plan and build the best that is available instead of making unnecessary compromises?" We use the west mainline quite a lot going from crew to edinburgh or london and never have a problem getting a seat , though i agree where new rail is needed it should be hs or hyperloop , i am saying there are plenty of areas in more need than the west mainline. Also you say it doubles capacity but seeming as phase 1 has no stops between london and birmingham it cannot possibly double capacity for the whole line? | |||
"Hs2 just to increase the spread of London commuter belt,be out of date before it's built,can't see the benefit apart from increased house prices in areas travel able for the lemmings to head to london" Truth. | |||

The West Coast main line operates multiple trains between London and Birmingham - some stop, some don’t. The same line goes on to split at Birmingham before coming back together in Staffordshire and services Manchester as well as Preston and northwards. It is a very, very busy track. | |||
