       @jon I want to rejoin Branson in the alternative reality where the HS1–HS2 link is already built and HS2 phase 2 to Manchester is about to be opened

       @h0m54r@mastodon.social @jon@gruene.social re HS2 - does anyone know with what platform heights it will end up with? They started out wanting some 1115mm platforms IIRC, EU said "you can't do that because EU law and because that's stupid, here's a 50 page document explaining why", then brexit happened and there haven't been any info since?If the platform height on HS2 actually ends up being 1115mm, then even the HS1-HS2 link existing wouldn't help in this case.
