✈️ There are 170 daily flights between London and the Scottish Central Belt.
🚄 HS2, delivered in full, can and must result in every single one of those flights being grounded. For good.

When I say grounded, I mean the flights cease to exist. They end. The planes aren't leased for the trip.
These flights need to be regulated out of the sky at the earliest opportunity.

Hopefully, when HS2 is fully operational, people won't have the choice to fly. Any flights with a viable rail alternative should be regulated out of existence. And don't get me started on air miles - these also need to be regulated out of existence.
I LIKE LIVING ON A HABITABLE PLANET.
People calling the phrase "climate emergency" hyperbolic are part of the problem. It wasn't an emergency twenty years ago. Now it very much is.
