Independent on Sunday: "Green light for high-speed rail stalls car lobby"

Link to Independent on Sunday

"The Government is to end the truce in the 'war on the motorist', as Justine Greening, the Secretary of State for Transport, prepares to clear the way for Britain's first new mainline railway for more than a century.

"Ms Greening will this week let the super-fast train take the strain, backing a 109-mile line between London and Birmingham, and future extensions to Leeds and Manchester. In three decades, the high-speed line is expected to replace 6 million flights and 9 million road trips, as travellers switch to rail."
