Britain's economy 'will have rocket fuel put into it by 2050' if plans for a 1,000 mile nationwide high-speed rail network go ahead

It would also reduce an over-reliance on London by lowering journey times

The think tank who wrote the report says it would allow other cities to flourish  

Move may shrink a productivity gap with countries such as Germany and France 

영국이 2050년까지 1,600km의 고속철도를 건설한다.

통행시간 단축으로 런던의 과도한 집중 현상을 감소시키며

다른 도시들의 개발이 촉진될 것으로 기대하고 있다.

독일이나 프랑스 같은 나라와 생산성 격차를 줄일 수 있는 효과도 있다.

High-speed rail connecting all of the UK mainland by 2050 would put 'rocket fuel in Britain's economy', a leading transport think tank has said. 

The proposed plan would be a further development of HS2 (High Speed 2) which is the new high-speed rail linking London, West Midlands, Leeds and Manchester, due to be operational by 2026. 

The ambitious proposal by a UK think tank is to extend the HS2 line and create 1,000 miles (1,600km) of new rail network that will 'reach all parts of the country'.

This would lead to a re-orientation of Britain's railway - from a single hub around London to a national railway network, the think tank claims. 

The move would reduce over-reliance on London by lowering journey times and allowing other cities to develop faster.
