I think far to much emphasis is being placed on HS2, especially associated with housing growth. It is implied in the document that this will provide major benefits, I see no proof of this it is all supposition. In order for somebody to make use of HS2 and save 20 minutes they would have to travel a fair distance slowly via bus or train, it would be far easier to travel to Solihull station and use the existing train network to get to London or to Birmingham that way.
