This petition was submitted during the 2017-2019 parliament
Rejected petition We call for a national referendum on whether HS2 is good value for money
estimate of cost in total of HS2 is 140 Billion pounds
total UK population estimate is 65 million
By my calculations this is over 21,000 per head of Capita here in the UK
More details
By other country,s standards HS2 is already out of date.
I say this having been on the latest version of the Chinese bullet train (due to be superseded in the next year or so)
