Use of HS2 - and hence footfall you refer to - will depend a lot on price, there are no real world time savings. It will be a total failure.

But people wont get to London a few minutes quicker in reality- they have to get to one of the very few HS2 stations first.

What do SK workers earn as a percentage of UK workers?
