George Muir notes in his recent article in Passenger Transport that “if you listen to HS2’s objectors, you hear eight bad arguments against the project” and offers his account of why each of them is wrong. He states that HS2 objectors keep objecting, repeating the same objections over and over again; and the government ignores the objections and repeats its message over and over again.
As a supporter of HS2, George Muir takes each objection, looks at it, recognises any good points made, and tries to establish the facts around each argument. Read the article in full here: http://www.passengertransport.co.uk/2013/12/hs2-and-the-dialogue-of-the-deaf/
