Anyway, thanks for responding, always enjoy your opinions when you appear on my TV.

The design of the line and the costs involved, are a direct result of choosing speed over capacity. It would also been easier to sell if those impacted were able to access the line. Unless it has changed, people in Milton Keynes were losing trains to enable freight.

I see this suggestion about capacity rather than speed all the time. Having been directly impacted by several of the proposed routes through the chilterns, they were all arrow straight as possible, with no stops, for speed. If you want capacity, you need double decker trains with plenty of stops.
