(By Rail/Ferry) London to:

Amsterdam = 3h 52mins
Edinburgh = 4h 56mins (3h 30 post #HS2 )

👉A much longer & larger, combined #HS2 /NPR station?

Seems highly dependant on the status of 2b following the general election.

I appreciate Northern 🚆 and Network Rail have to make cuts to better maintain stations (ie removing the roof that’d be more costly to maintain than remove)

But surely this takes the cake? I mean look at the state of it!
