    Double-decker trains, to cut journeys between London and Birmingham to 45 minutes, are being considered.

    The Department for Transport is looking at plans for a new 190mph (305km/h) link from near the new Channel Tunnel terminus in London to the Midlands. Costing £15bn, the link would enable Midlands travellers to reach Paris in three hours, bypassing central London.
