HS2 has always been about boosting commuter capacity by taking intercity traffic off the slow lines, according to IanVisits, of the IanVisits blog.
This is a puzzling statement, because on the four-tracked section of the West Coast main line out of Euston, no regular intercity traffic uses the slow lines.
Another baffling statement claimed that if you want to boost commuter capacity between towns, then removing high speed trains from slow lines is the best way to achieve it.

‘Best way’?
‘Between towns’?
Between which towns?
