High Speed Rail - London to Birmingham
New!
Mon 15th Mar 2010
The Government's proposal for a high-speed rail route from London to Birmingham has 20% of the length of route between the M25 and M42 in the new constituency of Kenilworth and Southam.

There are elevated sections close to Ladbroke, Southam and Kenilworth and the suggested line parallels the Welsh Road past Offchurch and Cubbington. The trains would run at 'up to' 250mph and there are no stations between here and London.
