@larstransportworld That’s a great map (and definitely all due credit to France), but it’s also a very depressing reminder that, over 40 years since the #LGV network started, the •entirety• of the #UK #HighSpeedRail network still fits in a corner of the French map! 😢

(Haphazard progress is being made on a savagely truncated #HS2 route, and at least we do have fairly extensive #MediumSpeedRail (200 km/h max) service on many InterCity routes, but it is beyond ridiculous that UK is so far behind.)

🚨!!COOL RAILWAY NEWS KLAXON!!🚨

The absolte madlads behind HS2 have just *SLID* a bridge over the A413 and a railway line.

How cool is that!? I realise engineer-y folks will say it's boring normal stuff, but to me this is cool!

You can see them doing it here:
