\n Prior\u2019s Oxon has, like many parts of the country, been disfigured \u2013 and for what?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Our editor-in-chief discusses his answers to the UK’s recently canceled HS2 project<\/p>\n

\n

Two miles from my home, HS2 has carved a scar across the landscape, across which trains might eventually take passengers between London and Birmingham more slowly than they do today.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s surprising is that, despite a local village effectively being cleaved in two, one sometimes could find, if not wholehearted support for HS2, at least shrugging acceptance that people needed to go places and that maybe it would all be for the greater good.<\/p>\n

Not anymore. Given its stratospheric cost rises, which have spiraled from an estimated \u00a330 billion in 2011 to more than \u00a3100bn since the project started, it\u2019s currently unclear whether HS2\u2019s Birmingham to Manchester leg will ever be built. Or whether the line will end in Old Oak Common, rather than central London.<\/p>\n

The leg to Leeds has already been scrapped. If you were to go looking for any goodwill for this shambles locally, you would find that it had evaporated.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Not just locally, in fact. This week, Lord Hague called the project a \u201cnational disgrace\u201d and the director of the Institute of Fiscal Studies, Paul Johnson, told Times Radio that it was always \u201cobviously\u201d going to be of \u201clittle gain relative to pretty much anything else you could have done with the railway or transport system, whether that\u2019s making rail connections across the north vastly better or actually building a bunch of bypasses and improving the roundabouts in the road network\u201d.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s the nub. Next time you\u2019re sitting near a town centre you would\u2019ve rather driven around, adding to local congestion and making life worse for residents but having the kind of day in which you couldn\u2019t take public transport if you wanted to, just remember that every man, woman and child in the UK will pay \u00a31500 to build a railway from Birmingham to Wormwood Scrubs.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s a feeling that Britain is uniquely bad at infrastructure, although I find this offensive to a country that hosts some of the world\u2019s finest engineers. What we seemingly do routinely is allow greed, incompetence and laziness, or a costly \u2013 and deadly \u2013 combination thereof, to be rewarded or go unpunished.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s how we\u2019ve ended up with the cladding scandal, the Post Office scandal, the sewage scandal and more, all dragging by for years without those responsible being held accountable.<\/p>\n

When I was much younger and a little more zealous about the automobile, I used to imagine Tarmacking over railways with a network of toll roads reserved exclusively for trucks and buses. One can easily wait for 45 minutes for a train holding 1000 people, which goes from somewhere you weren\u2019t to somewhere you don\u2019t want to go.<\/p>\n

It would be much more convenient to board a semi- or completely autonomous bus, taking a dozen of us from where we are to where we need to be, which could merge onto a geofenced, moderate-speed highway, then divert off without stopping every vehicle behind it.<\/p>\n

As time goes on, it becomes more technically feasible than ever: we have the batteries, fuel cells, geofencing, apps, wireless network connections and autonomous driving technology to allow it.<\/p>\n

Trains are extremely energy-efficient, it\u2019s true (that they roll so freely is why they can\u2019t follow each other closely), but in a world of effectively limitless renewable energy, if we\u2019re prepared to use it, that matters less than convenience.<\/p>\n

Obviously, my idea was a daft one that wasn\u2019t going to happen when I was young and won\u2019t in the future. And we probably couldn\u2019t enact it if we wanted to. But as I sit, wondering where my \u00a31500 has gone, it feels less barmy than ever.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n
