Man is, by nature, a lazy beast, he does not need twice encouraging to do nothing.

These are the key target times published by HS2, compared with actual fastest times for corresponding journeys today: London-Birmingham: 45 minutes (81 minutes) London-Manchester: 67 minutes (125 minutes) London-Leeds: 81 minutes (133 minutes)
You could while away half an hour in the pleasing environment of the new Curzon Street Station and still arrive at a vitally important business meeting 5 minutes earlier than you would have done before HS2 :-D

Edinburgh's Waverley Station has lots of glass roofs and even more pigeons! Pigeons will find roosts anywhere even on top of bird spikes.
