An ICE report on high-speed rail links in the UK. This report, by ICE’s High-Speed Rail Expert Group, is a summary on how best to tackle the UK’s shortage of transport capacity, and whether a high-speed, north-south railway really can provide the missing link in our transport infrastructure. ICE believes that a new, world-class, high-speed railway running between London and Scotland would revolutionise transport in the UK, taking pressure off motorway bottlenecks, releasing terminal and runway capacity at airports and freeing up capacity on the existing rail network for passengers and freight. The report looks at high-speed rail, funding and investment requirements, and offers a case study from Taiwan. Published December 2005. See also 'Which way? Options for a high-speed railway in the UK' (2006).
