So the Greens are against HS2 because it goes through open countryside but are in favour (as far as I can tell) of East West Rail despite it going through open countryside. So what's the difference?
Part of the point of Oxford - Cambridge (and the service add-ons at either side) , is to allow a massive housing build on the corridor. Bit of a 21stC "Metroland" which has leap the M25. If the railway does not happen, then they will just build a motorway instead.
You want to like the Greens , but having gone to a couple of meetings / quizzes with them locally. "no" ....
