Network Rail has requested quotes for the replacement Bus Service for the yet to be “green-lighted” high speed rail link
If construction does go ahead it could begin as early as 2017, the 250mph trains could run as fast as 400Km/ph by 2025. If the autumn is particularly wet or windy or dry then the replacement bus service would be required.
Mr Steve Milliband spokesman for “The consultation group to decide if railway is needed” said “We see the possibility for a replacement bus service between Birmingham during September 2025, around the 8th, at about 10.08, It may be that some passengers will want to travel out of London, but I cannot think why”.
There already several interested groups, First National, Stagecoach, Replacement bus services limited, and Ryan air.
Ryan air have submitted a quote of less than £95.00 for 20,000 passenger journeys, though this does not include seating, or food, or drink, or toilets or buses.
