From the 2M Group website:High Speed North - Joining up Britain
The
2M Group has published a new study which looks at how a new high speed
rail network could link major cities throughout the UK and provide
direct routes to Europe.The proposals would join Heathrow to this new rail network – removing the need for most domestic flights.
It would link UK cities to Europe with, in many cases, a travelling time of less than four hours.
The proposals have been published by 2M as part of its contribution to the growing debate on alternatives to aviation growth.
