'The country has managed to build itself the longest high-speed rail network in Europe and the second longest in the world, now spanning approximately 2,500 miles (4,000km) (and still expanding). By way of comparison, France has built 1,740 miles (2,800km), and Britain – still coming to terms with its latest high-speed fiasco – 68 (110km).'
@cyrilpedia And at a cost about half of the projected cost for merely the #HS2 London-Manchester line. Costs in the #UK for just about anything are absurd. One wonders where does the money go.
