Do you think in 20 years time or whenever they get their act together HS2 will get anywhere close to this?

The difference is that in Japan the train is always running whereas here if it's not broken down or cancelled due to the wrong type of snow or leaves on the line, the drivers are on strike because £70k a year's not enough money for them.
average is about 60k but they all do overtime at enhanced rates no doubt... bloody good money these days compared to way back
should this be in Abstract chat section?
Personally when i travel on German and swiss trains and see the huge investment they have made then we lag behind badly and am 100% behind HS2
thanks for moving this mods
