Average speed of 60 mph? Is this 18th centurely where rail competes with horse carriages?

You do realise that a country needs 21st century rail service to be competitive interbationally?

You can pay a £20 premium each way to up that to about 100mph average. Competition and choice is great.

Quality services and products are great, choice for the sake of choice has no value.

Otherwise we would bring back bloodletting, leeches and snakeoil salesmen to get more choice in cancer treatment.
