fantastic news, this is just what was needed.
no it wouldn't - they've done that once on the wcml and it cost an 11 figure sum a few years back with years of disruptionrickmcfc said:Instead if building these new railways, can't we just upgrade the current west/east coast main lines so they can take trains of 225mph? Wouldnt that make sense and be cheaper?

After listening to her moan about us potentially losing out on any resale value for 20 minutes I told her its 20 years down the line and to stop pecking my head.
I guess my only question for the wise old owls that inhabit the cellar would be is there some facility in place where the government would purchase your house if it's in an area where building work takes place, and if it is is it a nominal fee that we're talking about or would it be whatever the value of the property is at the time?
Personally it wouldn't bother me if they carpet bombed the whole area, but that's another story..
