London and Madrid to be linked by high-speed train

I took the euro star from london to paris and it was a fantastic ride. Getting aboard wasn't the hassle of getting to the airport. I simply took the metro then hopped on the Eurostar. Samething happened when I arrived in Paris... arrived right on the same metro line as my hotel and only a mie away! I've also rode the Acela from Boston to NYC. In terms of speed the Acela can hit the same speed, but can't hold it due to the bends in the tracks. We can do it here in the usa, but many people won't be happy. New tracks that are straighter are going to HAVE to be built. A specific highspeed only line so that the cap of 150mph can be lifted.
