As someone who is pro rail I think we lag way behind and HS2 would be a start the whole line to Scotland needs to be started.
The new lines would free a load of capacity on our largely victorian rail network I think the problem is that greed infests every part of the construction and operating sides of the rail industry not to mention all the quango's/advisors etc with their hand in the taxpayers purse
