    The scheme should of started from north to south then no would not be a option. Also even if it was to choose a city Manchester or Leeds to start with a later date for the other at least it would be built, and less trouble. There again maybe this would be the chance to say HS1 can join HS2 and connect somewhere else other than London after all we have airports and seaport so this would be a extention of that and a rail port you still need your passport or proof to be there. By then government might have your ID on your phone for Railcard/Bus pass/ Passport/Driving licence/ Government Number in one app but security better be there first.
