We are often asked/told on the channel about opening old lines and that HS2 is a vanity project that we should not be wasting money on. But we really didn't feel educated enough to comment on it. So we asked Gareth if he minded answering some of our questions. This is been hugely helpful and a massive insight to us, perhaps it has been for you too?
