I've never been the biggest fan of HS2, it's devastated parts of Warwickshire, which will not benefit them, or here in Coventry as it skirts the edge of the city. But if they just stop at Birmingham, so that the net result is people get to London 10 minutes quicker, for all that money and devastation of the countryside, that makes me angry.

There is a very large lobby to stop HS2 which I have seen many of you get behind, you have your wish I guess. Not it will matter that it came about by an EU directive in the first place. You will still be moaning we have left the EU. There is of course the other problems with building anything in this country, they become a license to print money and get to overrun at the taxpayers expense for years on end. |

Sunak should grow a pair and scrap the damn lot of it - it is the definition of a Government white elephant project.

Perhaps they'll be able to repair the roads now!
Driving round here is like crossing Bolivia.

At a cost of £120 quid My Sorrento does 350 miles to a full tank and I put another gallon in each night for just £2 quid. Soon it will be £1 quid. It I do a 400 mile journey it costs me £60 quid. |

But I can get my fuel from anywhere and there are not huge ques. And my truck can easily pull the skin off a rice pudding. |

Well done, but how long before you recoup the difference in cost between a high cost electric Sorento and a much lower cost of a normal fuel derived car? or will it be by then defunct? |

Depends how many miles I drive. Equivalent spec petrol car is about 12k cheaper, so about 4-5 years. |

So how does that make you any greener than the rest of us who stick to our ICE powered vehicles? |
