- HS2
- PROS
- Triple capacity on trains --> less smaller trains --> more freight trains --> less lorries
- reduces road congestion
- 22,000 employment opportunities
- Quicker journeys (London-Birmingham < 1hr) speeds of up to 250mph
- Reduce short distance air travel
- Environmental impact offset by planting trees & formation of 'green tunnels'
- CONS
- Cost upwards of £88bn - money could be better spent improving current infrastructure of invested in public sector e.g NHS
- Cheaper & more effective ways of increasing capacity on trains
- Now more people are working from home the benefits to people may only be minimal
- Takes a long time to build - may not be finished until 2040
- Planned to go through picturesque Chilterns & Midlands - decrease land value, destroys wildlife and habitats
- PROS
