  5. Guidelines Principles: Original Remit • Maximise benefit for the investment • Capacity expansion for long distance passenger growth • Release existing lines for commuter / freight growth • Connectivity between major cities • Through running beyond new line • Contribute to mode shift from road and air • Compatibility with HS1 / European HS network “A new passenger transport backbone, not a replica of the existing railway” – Lord Adonis
