According to a current poll on the Buckinghamshire Examiner website ( www.buckinghamshireexaminer.co.uk), 68% of us have answered 'No' in a poll which asks 'Do you support plans for a high speed rail link to whizz trains through the Chilterns on their way from London to the Midlands?' This has made us more confident about stopping HS2, although the poll only asks if people want HS2 to go across the Chilterns, and not if they support the whole idea.

The time went very quickly and there is no good reason for a new high speed rail link. A lot of countryside had already had to be destroyed to build the first high speed rail link and ...
