Back to the Future by Train

The Government appears at last to have made a decision about a high speed rail link between London and Scotland, something everyone has wanted for ages.  Having regularly travelled between Edinburgh and King's Cross each fortnight for two years there ain't much fun in commuting by train for over 4 hours, even in 1st Class.  So this is very good news indeed.


Now the Government needs to make it happen including getting some modern really fast trains.  If it does what is promised (Edinburgh to London in just over 2 hours) no-one will want to engage in that horrible sapping pastime called air travel EDI-LHR (and me an aviation enthusiast - shows you how bad it is!).
