May be so although investment in better trains will help. [Glad to say I'm not a commutator]
I think the main purpose of HS2 is to slightly reduce the time it take for people from the north to get to London - or probably more for certain companies to get a lot of work. What the country really needs are better links between areas outside London to increase economic potential elsewhere. Which is probably the best option in terms of reducing the centralisation of the British economy on London but of course since so much power and influence is concentrated in London that is going to face opposition.
