They will also have to get all freight traffic off the high speed lines.

Plus they will need to provide more lines into London etc.

Neither of which is possible so even if the trains could do it they won't be able to. :roll:

Tunnels? Speed will have to be reduced though. Anyway they aren't really that picturesque. :P

How about making 60-years-overdue improvements to the existing network rather than dicking around with a TGV-style penis?

Prats.

If you want to do it fast, do it in a car
