To be honest, Spain is almost ideal for high-speed trains. Big conurbations with millions or at least hundreds of thousands people, separated by mostly empty land where few people ever see or hear the trains rushing to and fro. This article is from the Guardian and it would be fair to mention that densely packed English countryside is on just another level when it comes to NIMBY obstacles. Any high speed track out of London must either be wholly underground, or cut through hundreds, if not thousands of private gardens, and their owners will be hard to placate. Population density of Southeast England is pretty extreme even for Western Europe. |
