dave.jpg High speed trains are the latest bone of contention between the mayor and the Tory party leader. After David Cameron slapped down Boris Johnson’s plans for an estuary airport in favour of rail transport, the mayor has hit back by refusing to back the party’s proposals. The interestingly strained relationship between the two never fails to cause comment, though according to Dave Hill’s London Blog, Boris denies any difficulties and has even helpfully proffered of his budgetary expertise to his alleged rival.

    OK, this is going to be hard… deep breath…

    Boris is making the inteligent choice.

    He would appear to have absorbed the key point – Heathrow is not one place, you need at least Three stations to serve it, so you are going to have to change trains from HS2 however it works out. Taking that as a given, the advantages of building the suburban interchange in north Kensington are massively superior to those of building near Heathrow.

    I’m impressed.

    Note the date and time, and inform Her Majesty’s amanuensis: JamesU has praised Boris Johnson.

    Truly, I thought this day would never come.
