You couldn't get a cigarette paper between them policywise.<br /><br />As regards the high speed rail project, it's an EU scheme going back to 1993....<br /><br />"The hidden story behind this project goes back to 1993, when Jacques Delors was busy with two gargantuan schemes for the integration of Europe. One was to give it a single currency. The other, just as ambitious, was his plan for Trans-European Networks (TENs), designed to integrate all Europe’s transport and communications systems. These would not be funded directly by the EU; instead, the member states would construct their own bits according to an overall plan.

GB announced this program in his dying days as PM without any discussion but out of the blue to give us the impression that his government hadn't lost its way.
