I am little confused at High Speed..... Is the High Speed 2 a completely newly build railway line? Or is it using existing lines? Would the HS2 track be only used by High speed trains? For example a normal non HS2 service could enter the track for part of its journey?

Class 142's, they are soo soo old and i am suprised they are still operating to this date. They are very uncomfortable, they sort of shake and i dont see why the 166's can be given to south-west operations. If they can operate here that is. Are there any plans to get rid of them soon? But...
