HS2 is direly needed infrastructure work that we've needed since the 90s

  Don't worry, as we continue to price people out of rail travel (poor people were priced out years ago, we've almost cut the whole lower middle class out too, just a little further, I believe we can do it!), fewer people will travel and that'll reduce the hit on your capacity.
  
  All part of our genius plan 😎🍹
