In the debate over the proposed route of the high-speed rail link London to Manchester, I quite like the idea of it going to Heathrow, but if it has to go through Buckinghamshire it should follow the route of the Great Central railway. Edward Watkin engineered this line to superbly high standards. It should be possible to run the high-speed line adjacent to it.
The original proposal was to continue the line from Manchester through London to Paris.
Everything about the Great Central was done well.
