I RECENTLY ventured on to the M6 outside of peak times and was alarmed at the heavy traffic, especially the number of lorries.

Does anyone know how many of these goods vehicles will disappear from our motorways if we have HS2?

My own guess is none.

We should be concentrating our minds and resources on our creaking road network rather than shaving a few minutes off a trip to London.
