They don't, the drawings are all online. Its pretty much all the way, except for the viaducts which will no doubt have screens of some sortOnce north of Aylesbury, maybe things will open out a bit on HS2, until approaching Birmingham.

Because 'normals' like to have natural light, but don't call a 50+ minute journey boring if they don't see every motorway bridge, canal, siding and post industrial office block between their start and finish stations. Remember, the purpose of the railway is primarily to get from A to B, - anybody who wants the 'scenic' experience will still be able to take the WCML route and because they will be travelling slower, wil have more time to appreciate the view.Why don't we just specify the trains without windows, whilst we're at it?
I like to look out, worst journey I've ever done is Florence to Milan, seem to remember almost all was in tunnels or looking at boards. Don't care how short journey is the scenery is part of it.Because 'normals' like to have natural light, but don't call a 50+ minute journey boring if they don't see every motorway bridge, canal, siding and post industrial office block between their start and finish stations.

Though of course this means the noise will be unbearable in what was one of the lovliest pieces of countryside within the M25.there will still be some stunning areas, such as the flyover the Denham lakes area
There will be (transparent) barriers on the viaduct, reflecting the sound in/upwards.Though of course this means the noise will be unbearable in what was one of the lovliest pieces of countryside within the M25.
I think you may be referring to Florence-Bologna. Bologna-Milan is almost entirely through open countryside....although admittedly the most boring part of Italy across the flat agricultural plain of the River Po. However, when the weather conditions are right, passengers can enjoy distant views of the Alps to the North and the Apennines to the South on this part of the journey. If you take a slower - but cheaper - InterCity train between Bologna and Florence via the 1934 'Direttissima' line, there are some great views of the Apennine valleys to be enjoyed....even though there is one 19km tunnel and another of about 10 km.I like to look out, worst journey I've ever done is Florence to Milan, seem to remember almost all was in tunnels or looking at boards.

Yes, how nice the views from the window are should absolutely not be a factor that influences the project in any way.Because 'normals' like to have natural light, but don't call a 50+ minute journey boring if they don't see every motorway bridge, canal, siding and post industrial office block between their start and finish stations.

Have done both but couldn't remember which the boring bit was, knew Bologna featured somewhere.I think you may be referring to Florence-Bologna.

There's at least one remarkable view on the Milan-Bologna AV section - the intermediate station at Reggio Emilia AV.I think you may be referring to Florence-Bologna.

Well, all I can say is that I have regularly stayed at Jack Mill B&B in Harefield, next to the Grand Union Canal, and now just 500m from the line of the HS2 viaduct. I chose there because I found it is completely quiet at night, except for the sound of running water in the mill stream off the River Colne and the occasional waterfowl. Looking to the west, over the river and the lake, there are no other buildings or signs of human habitation.It's already pretty noisey due to the proximity of the M25, M40, Denham aerodrome, Northolt AFB and even the occasional bit of Heathrow traffic, not to mention the ongoing industrial works.
So bigger brother of the Stechford to Aston bridge that was put in. Coloured lights are not going to glamourise weathered steel!Design for new Birmingham Viaduct
It appears not to have planning permission yet.So bigger brother of the Stechford to Aston bridge that was put in. Coloured lights are not going to glamorise weathered steel!
Coloured lights are not going to glamourise weathered steel!
People on here would want Saltley as a UNESCO site.Now will they glamourise inner east Birmingham!
I thought it already was...People on here would want Saltley as a UNESCO site.
