Agree, they could have have easily done that and even done a merge and show the side by side. Give an idea of stability etc.

For those not in the UK, this is a high speed rail link, initially between London and Birmingham, that is to take 20 years and 33 billion quid to build.
There is, of course, lots of opposition to it. It passes very close to where I currently live, and there is lots of opposition around here.
I'm not sure I see the need, and I do not think it will be well done.
I think I'd be more in favour if they were to do something interesting. I'm thinking along the lines of monorails or mag-lev like in Transport Tycoon.
I wouldn't mind a dirty great viaduct spanning the countryside if it looked interesting and made a space age noise each time a train whizzed by at a couple of hundred miles and hour.
Anyway, I was reading Why it takes 20 years to build[^] and it was a little bit interesting.
Some things you just don't think about, like they are going to have to dig up and then rebury 50,000 dead people.
Every man can tell how many goats or sheep he possesses, but not how many friends.

That's not very 'High-speed' is it.
