As far as I understand from details elsewhere, the route & spec would be pretty much exactly what was planned for HS2.Would it be a similar high speed link though?

But surely the trainsets will be much cheaper and more widely available to acquire than those capable of 225 mph...They were talking about a lower speed, more like a conventional line (125-140mph), but that makes little difference in cost with a new build as you want to build it as straight as possible anyway to save on land take. Might as well build it as planned as the not insignificant design cost had already been spent.
Only if they run Birmingham-Manchester. If they run on to London then they have to match speed or it'll screw up the timetable.But surely the trainsets will be much cheaper and more widely available to acquire than those capable of 225 mph...

So LS2 then.This will be solved by limiting the speed on the Birmingham-London leg to 125mph, mark my words.
It hasn't happened yet.Can anyone explain why a train that gets from London to Birmingham in 45 minutes gets a bog and a train that goes across London and takes over an hour doesn’t get one?
I didn’t think there were toilets at the stops on Crossrail or the tubeIt hasn't happened yet.
I'm guessing the Lizzy line and the overground don't have them because they stop frequently, where hopefully you will find one whereas London to Brum is non stop or limited stops.
There must be some somewhere; Clapham Junction, willesden junction, Stratford I am guessing. There must be more...Liverpool street for certainI didn’t think there were toilets at the stops on Crossrail or the tube

Here's a map of stations where you can spend a penny.

And here is a spreadsheet giving details of toilets and where needed their keypad codes for cafes, pubs, and restaurants in London.
Lots of those HS2 trains will go further than Birmingham.Can anyone explain why a train that gets from London to Birmingham in 45 minutes gets a bog and a train that goes across London and takes over an hour doesn’t get one?
Will they? I thought it was going to end at Birmingham as things stand, I’ve heard talk of ending at Crewe but nothing concreteLots of those HS2 trains will go further than Birmingham.
That’s useful but it would better still if there was no need for a map as there is a loo at every station.
Not unless the HS2 project is reinstated.Lots of those HS2 trains will go further than Birmingham.
The trains may well do so, they are designed to travel on the existing network as well.Not unless the HS2 project is reinstated.
Yes, at least some of the trains will go to Manchester regardless of the line being built from what I understand - putting additional pressure on an already at capacity infrastructure.The trains may well do so, they are designed to travel on the existing network as well.
If they can get onto the existing network.The trains may well do so, they are designed to travel on the existing network as well.
