I think that the hs2 line is predominantly about network capacity, but that some bright spark thought it would sell better if it was called 'high speed'. Unfortunately the name quickly became a mill stone.
I find the resistance to change so sad. It really seem to have become engrained in the UK.

We have too many listed buildings (c. 380,000 in England alone). If it's nationally important (say grade 1 listed c. 7,600) then it should be protected and centrally funded. We seem intent on trying to 'save' every old building irrespective of whether there's a continued use case for them.
