@goatsarah I am aware of this. I'm not the idiotic pro car person you assume I am. I'm enormously shocked and quite upset at your responses. That's enough now.

@goatsarah there's no train station here. The nearest station is 15 miles away. When I travel intercity I have to arrange to drive there. This is my chosen method if travel whenever possible.

@goatsarah @helenczerski well thanks very much indeed for this. The 'damn railway' stops no where near where I live. I'll just walk from here to Birmingham to catch it. No problem. 40 miles.

@goatsarah @helenczerski
Thank you very much for this. I get you feel angry but you do not have to adopt a patronising tone. I'm trying to point out that the project has been poorly undertaken, under a pretty terrible government. I agree we don't need more roads.

@goatsarah @helenczerski I don't think you quite understand my point. The project has been implemented without proper regard to the existing environment. It is arguable that it is not the solution to the transportation problems we experience here in the UK. A properly thought out, less destructive response might have been accepted. Why, for example, bother to plan thousands of replacement trees, but not organise to water and cultivate them? Simple things which would mitigate the destruction

@goatsarah @helenczerski I'm aware of the consequence of not developing mass transportation. However the management of HS2 has meant that it has been overly detrimental to the local environment. Yo me it seems that the legal framework behind it has led to very inconsiderate and destructive behaviour.
I live right near it, it passes right by my town. It's been enormously destructive and very wasteful. It could have been managed and implemented more carefully and sensitively.

@goatsarah @helenczerski but if you live near the HS2 route and see the dreadful waste, cutting down trees that were well away from the route, blocking up badger setts, displacing wildlife, planting new trees then leaving them to die instead of watering them, you would be weird about HS2
