Their research concluded that an overwhelming majority of around 80 % would consider travel by train if a suitably attractive offer was available compared to air.

They also concluded that people wanted to take the train to a greater range of destinations than are possible at the moment, whether for leisure or business purposes. Bordeaux, Frankfurt and Prague were suggested as destinations that can be easily reached from London using HS1 and the High Speed Network across Europe.
