Extraordinary thing is it really isn't so difficult to explain or even to reduce to a one-sentence argument. Fact they are either too unimaginative or incompetent to do so speaks volumes.

It's not going to cost £55 billion, they've just admitted over £80 billion latest estimate. If capacity is the main objective, why the obsession with speed? If they reduced the speed a little they could avoid a lot of demolitions, loss of habitat and reduce environmental impact.

DfT now admits HS2 might cost £88bn.
@tonyberkeley1 got@mbpcworldwide to check HS2's sums. Byng reckons way over £100bn. Neither@joncstone nor@IanDunt has a fraction of Byng & Berkeley's rail expertise. HS2's BCR is negligible. It won't be CO2 neutral for decades.@stophs2! - 5 more replies

There's an error in the first sentence. The cost of
#HS2 has increased but Gov't Ministers have known of its £100bn+ price tag for years. The BCR is less than 1 offering poor value for money. It would foolhardy to proceed.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

Apart from the fact it is simply totally incorrect on almost every level. Try this one I have spent a decade fighting
#HS2, and the arguments for it keep getting worsehttps://www.independent.co.uk/voices/hs2-rail-trains-new-line-northern-powerhouse-network-a9054456.html …Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

If you are serious about climate change then people are going to have to work remotely. Rail may be better than cars but trains burn carbon irrespective of passenger numbers.

They may need to work remotely but people (and especially goods) will still need to travel. You can't email a shipping container from Southampton to Glasgow.
