🌍 The way we talk about infrastructure projects in the U.K. is utterly broken. HS2 receives nationwide coordinated attacks on the project as a whole, but the drastically more destructive road construction (#RIS2) is left to be fought separately by small local efforts.
I suspect much of this is because “cars are normal”, and partly that the cost benefit analysis of HS2 has been warped so badly by disinformation. that people think there’s barely any benefits, and the environmental costs have been presented with no context.
There’s the other concern that I hear a lot. The dreaded HS2 Ltd.
Can we for a moment separate the two ideas of:
1. HS2 (high speed rail releasing capacity on the existing network to reduce road/air passengers and freight)
2. HS2 Ltd the company managing the project
