Environmentalists and libertarians unite in HS2 criticism

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-39023621

"Environmentalists Friends of the Earth joined the libertarian group Taxpayers' Alliance in a late bid to derail HS2.
The two groups are normally at odds on policy, but both agree that the rail project is a bad use of public money, and likely to over-run its budget.
The projected price for HS2 is £56bn, but the Taxpayers' Alliance speculates that the final cost could reach £90bn."

Rather put the £90Bn into the NHS

It's supposed economic benefits are pure fiction. And they've missed the fundamental point of transport, which is passenger density. Which turns out a speed of 40mph for this to happen! !!
