This is fantastic, kudos to the UK for getting their shit together and making this a reality.
I wish we could get our heads out of our asses and do this in the United States. Air travel is effective and fast, but woefully inefficient, expensive and challenging, with a lot of variables that constantly hamper successful execution (I'm looking at you, weather, as being one of the biggest factors). I really think HSR in the US would be a strong, unifying cultural milestone, in addition to being a major transportation boon.
