A covering note made clear that neither the Department for Transport nor HS2 Ltd, the company building the high-speed line, had any current plans to fund the national cycleway outlined in the study. Instead, councils would have to fund their own sections, with help from the private sector.
So how is this actually any different from the current situation ?
They may as well say “we fully intend to build a national network of world-class aerial cycle routes the entire length and breadth of the UK, suspended by skyhooks*.
*Obviously we will do this only when skyhook technology is commercially viable.
