One sentence that sums up #HS2ReleasedCapacity - #LocalTrains for #NewRailwayStations need #HS2
https://t.co/0Is2Pdf3YD
100s headway difference (1min 40s) isn't a huge problem. #HS2 is as much about #HS2ReleasedCapacity on lines such as #WCML, #MML & #ECML as it is the capacity of HS2 itself.
HS2 =Segregation of #HighSpeedTrains from other traffic (#LocalTrains, #RegionalTrains & #RailFreight)
@eegarnett89 @RobDarlison If rail capacity is what you want then HS2 is not the answer. Slower speeds allow much closer headways which means more capacity. No objection to electric rail - just money guzzling HS2 & its huge land requirement for deep cuttings & high embankments. It can't follow motorways.
@wafu23RN And? If #HS2 takes existing #PublicTransport users that is fine, what we need is the incentive to then use the #HS2ReleasedCapacity to greatest advantage to attract more people to use PT and drive #ModalShift.
If you move people from Train A to Train B, you can refill Train A.
The map below shows how #HS2ReleasedCapacity works, the new #HS2 line takes traffic away from #WCML, #MML & #ECML, which allows for more to infill in its place. Benefits diminish where new track ends - telling a story isn't it?
What evidence is there that #HS2 is 'tearing up the #Chilterns AONB and endangering our ecology'?
HS2 is desperately needed to remove #DomesticFlights from UK skies and via #HS2ReleasedCapacity allow for #ReduceDriving by more #LocalTrains.
By scrapping the #HS2 extension to Leeds the government are abandoning their central economic case. While tearing up the Chilterns AONB & endangering our ecology this decision to axe the Eastern leg is an insult to the people of Chesham & Amersham. https://t.co/opE5F4GSvU
@BrentPoland1 #HS2 may not be perfect and there are many faults on both sides of the HS2 argument, but it is a good project for what the end result will be: #LessDomesticFlights and via #HS2ReleasedCapacity more #LocalTrains and #RailFreight.
'Don't let perfect be the enemy of the good'
@belebenso @Rachel_Haith #HS2 *itself* may not replace many road trips as many are short, but the #HS2ReleasedCapacity is much more certain to be able to change that by more #LocalTrains. Just look at #ECML in #Northumberland: if #HS2 trains serving #Edinburgh now run via #WCML, more local paths on ECML
Yep #Enviroluddites/ #FauxEnvironmentalists are awash. #HS2 is a #Green project. Do nothing = solve nothing. HS2 allow massive #ModalShift to #ReduceFlying and via #HS2ReleasedCapacity, #ReduceDriving too. Why don't they work on @StopRIS2 Stop #RIS2 #StopRIS2 instead?
@Outoftweet123 @AlwaysRails You're thinking is too narrow @Outoftweet123. We CAN have #ModalShift to #CleanGreenTransport and we don't need to #BanCars but #ReduceDriving, provide good alternatives in form of #HS2 for long distance travel on UK mainland, #HS2ReleasedCapacity for #LocalTrains & #RailFreight.
@FreshairIan @GarethDennis @AndyDeardenTSA @NigelSarbutts @Ceri_turns @dasy2k1 @Greens4HS2 @CBGreenSteve @pedrojuk That is not counting the #HS2ReleasedCapacity on other lines such as #WCML, #MML & #ECML.
#CarsAreBad: A single lane of road at 70mph can take ~1800 cars per hour. 5 people in every car gives max capacity of 9000 people per hour. That is a 70mph car every 2s. Not good is it?

#HS2releasedcapacity to all those saying “spend the money on the existing network”
#HS2 is an upgrade of the existing network!
More frequent, reliable trains to 73 stations
144 more freight trains a day
Network cheaper to maintain due to fewer fast heavy trains
#HS2alltheway
NEWS: #HS2 will alleviate pressure on our overcrowded network, creating more capacity for local and regional rail services.
Post-HS2, 73 locations stand to benefit from:
- Faster / more frequent services
- New destinations
- Reduced crowding

Things that weren’t said on 17:22 from Cov to Brum. “Coventry won’t benefit from #HS2” things that were “there’s room in the toilets and luggage racks - don’t worry, we’ll get everyone on” @VirginTrains #HS2alltheway #HS2releasedcapacity faster, more frequent, less crowded trains
