In the UK, only money counts, and unless someone with connections to the Tories is going to massively profit, it won't happen. In Russia, where I used to live, things are happening, but slowly. I remain optimistic that there will eventually be a really high speed link right across the country, Petersburg to Vladivostok via Moscow, Ekaterinburg, Irkutsk, etc. Maybe one day even a line to the far north, connecting Petrozavodsk. Now that would really be amazing! (But very unlikely.)
