Hi @MarkWi72, I strongly suggest that you read the whole thread (I appreciate there's a lot of it) as you will find a lot of answers to your questions and concerns covered there.
There isn't really an answer to the "HS2 will destroy ancient woodland" criticism. It's a fair complaint, but I believe we have to look at environmental damage in the round. Overall, building HS2 will do more good for the environment than not building it. People will still want to travel, and in the absence of decent rail services, they'll drive instead.
