#RailNatter Episode 79: Why is there no HS1-HS2 link, and how should it look if there was?

from #Railnatter · host Gareth Dennis

This week's #RailNatter is looking at the link between High Speed 1 and Britain's future High Speed 2 - or rather, why there isn't going to be one (yet). We'll look at past plans for the link, including one that involved a major new underground station at King's Cross. We'll also explore why, without a through station in central London, a link isn't actually a great idea. We'll even look at what a future link might sensibly look like! Join us at 7pm on Wednesday - as it's an HS2 episode you'll want to join LIVE to ask your questions! Enjoyed this?
