I was a doubter until our holiday to Japan last year. The Shinkansen was not just impressive in operation, but it made me realise how simple it was to "pop" along from Tokyo to Kyoto or Hiroshima for a meeting and be back in time for a cuppa.
In terms of dealing with the arrivals at Euston, perhaps it's time to consider a radical rethink of surface comms by creating tram routes between Euston and Paddington (Euston Rd westbound, Pentonville Road down to Old Street passing Kings X eastbound), Waterloo (Southampton Row and the Kingway tunnel!!). Victoria (Oxford St, Park Lane and Hyde Park).
