James Says

Several other European cities ensure a good choice of connecting flights to Nairobi, which is one of Africa's main hub cities. Flights via other airports in Africa are not so widely available.

@Jodatu High speed should be just that - limited stop (which hs2 is), stations that provide onward connections (which hs2 does very poorly)

@Jodatu You wouldn't want 3 stations in Birmingham serving #HS2 - also, double deck, 400m long trains not compatible with classic track

@Jodatu You could make that argument about any central station or hub airport. Reality is, origin + connection passengers justify both
