Trains will only be able to travel at their top speed of 225 miles per hour (360kph) on less than half of HS2's 134 mile route between London and West Midlands, it has emerged.

The news comes just days before Boris Johnson, the Prime Minister, is expected to give the green light to the controversial £100 billion project this week.

Scrap it

Why is something that's always been the case news? The trains aren't scheduled to run at 360kmh anyway, the schedule is for 320kmh unless running late, when they have the option to run at 360kmh to make up time.

Kinda knocks the fun out of it huh

If HS2 is cancelled then council tax and car tax won't have to go up.

Wait, you mean trains have to accelerate to top speed and then decelerate to stopping?
