And they came up with a very good engineering solution, which was to spend six billion pounds building completely new tracks from London to the coast, and knocking about 40 minutes off a three-and-half-hour journey time.
Og de fandt frem til en meget god ingeniørløsning: at bruge 6 milliarder pund på at bygge helt nye spor fra London til kysten og gøre en tre-en-halv timers rejse cirka 40 minutter kortere.
