Chinese investors should avoid Britain's rotten egg rail project
After factoring in perceived gains and high costs against the envisaged benefits, getting on board high-speed railway may not be a good idea
The next phase of Britain's high-speed trains is being worked on.
According to reports last week, Chinese state companies are eager to invest in Britain's planned HS2 high-speed railway from London to Birmingham, and beyond to Manchester and Leeds.
They would be better advised to find another use for their capital. Although construction work has yet to start, HS2 shows all the signs of a classic British cock-up in the making.
