Background information

Look at the maps below to find out which wildlife sites in London will be potentially affected.

We're not against high speed rail in principle. Read more in The Right Lines Charter, which the Trusts have signed up to. The Charter calls for a national transport strategy, better future-proofing of big transport proposals, effective public participation and a more strategic approach to minimising adverse impacts. Its supporters seek to engage positively with the government, as they believe the approach to High Speed Rail currently falls well short of the Charter's principles.

You can take action too – respond to the public consultation for the government's preferred route at www.highspeedrail.dft.gov.uk or email your MP.
