It might come as a shock, but some people do actually need to go places & do things.

To quote Boris Johnson, "We can't all just sell each other cappuccino over the internet".

Part of the purpose of HS2 is to relieve overuse of other parts of the rail system, thereby allowing freight to be more competitive & reduce road congestion- this seems to be conveniently ignored by those against it.

best bet is to get people on trains and put goods and services on the roads
Private cars are the problem not road transport and trade, rail is not suitable for moving goods and services..

The train, plane and car will mostly be replaced by the Internet and its successors over the next 50 years. Humans are moving into an online world. The offline world is quickly already becoming less and less relevant.

How does that work for plumbers, farmers, factory workers, builders, social workers, etc?

We can't all just sit tapping at computers- some people need to go & do 'real stuff'.

Exactly!!! Hey what we need is a form of transport so everyone can get about ,and go about their business say a thing with wheels and seats and sometimes a box on the back for carrying tools and stuff door to door!!!
