Letters: Are the condems playing deaf?

WHEN vanity combines with deafness, the result is HS2.Read

Letters: Don't blame us, blame your group

I HAVE read with interest the coverage in your July 21 issue of the HS2 consultation, in particular the comments under the heading 'Protesters criticise parish council'.Read

Letters: HS2 questionnaire is not objective

AS SOMEONE who has written many drafts for research questionnaires in my time, I find the HS2 consultation questionnaire very biased and deliberately leading. The very last thing you can accuse it of is objectivity.Read

Letters: HS2 will be a disgusting waste

I AM appalled by the proposal to build the High Speed Two (HS2) line from London to Birmingham, and then to Manchester and Leeds.Read

Letters: Improving railway network is cheaper

I BELIEVE that HS2 is a waste of taxpayers' money and that money could be better spent on improving current rail networks - trains are continually not able to run properly because of the wrong type of snow, leaves on the line, train broken down, etc, etc, and during rush hour are heavily overcrowded. Money should be spent on the current networks to alleviate these and many other problems.Read

Letters: Don't forget why HS1 failed

NOWHERE in any of the information supplied by HS2 in their roadshow or public relations material is it mentioned that HS1 in Kent has failed because it has not created significant business growth or an improved passenger service, despite the huge amount of taxpayers' money spent (and the vast sums lost in the subsequent sell-off to foreign operators).Read

Letters: Extra passengers won't cover costs

YOUR two-page spread detailing various statements of individuals and groups opposed to the HS2 rail proposal gives the impression of nimbyism that the transport minister referred to.Read

Letters: Heathrow links would be next

YOU rightly make much of the flawed and overblown case for HS2 promulgated by the Department for Transport (DfT).Read
