Unfortunately the new government is to route HS2 via (actually, just nearer to) Heathrow. That is very silly, as it will add considerably to everyones journey times for the few going to Heathrow who will save only a few minutes at best as they'll still have to change trains to actually reach the terminals. The route should be as the experts planned it - through the Chilterns and s0d the Tory voters there - they should just be made to lump it.
Double deck high speed? I went TGV double deck to south of France from Lille a couple of years ago - it was absolutely superb; comfortable, roomy, great views (if you sit upstairs), totally smooth, and very, very fast!
