Massive improvements to existing rolling stock (double-decker carriages like in France, etc.) and to the existing network could be achieved with this sum of money.

Why when Hampstead residents get clamped and fined for parking on their own streets is it ok for massive lorries to pound the village to pieces?

I am not convinced that this fast link is so desperately needed and am very concerned about a decade of disruption during construction (I live north of Camden) and the irreversible damage to Camden, Camden Market etc.

The economic benefits are unclear. Why proceed with what in all likelihood will be a white elephant, adding to the national debt for at best a speculative outcome. This is almost certainly of little benefit to London and yet the burdon will fall disproportionatley on North London. Why proceed with a white elephant on this basis?
Building HS2 will destroy much of the residential and business fabric of Hampstead, Primrose Hill, Camden Town and Somers Town and will also disrupt their communications and infrastructure for a decade. Much of the existing north-south railway network in England will have to be closed or reduced to make the HS2 network "viable" if is built. The only benefit will be to the engineering firms who build it. It is an economic, social, transport and environmental disaster. In all sanity, it must be stopped.

The gain (slight as it is) in this instance is definitely not worth the pain (financial, environmental, architectural, social, detrimental impact on health of people and businesses etc)

HS2 will completely ruin the area. It is so poorly thought out.
Stop!
No, no, no.
