If HS2 goes as far as Birmingham, then HS2 use the existing network up to Edinburgh and Glasgow along the West Coast. Why are you ignoring that point?
I agree the north needs proper links from east to west, which HS2 doesn't deliver, but there is logic in the first phase of HS2 - and it connects Birmingham to the Tunnel.
