I think if the train runs as fast as advertized, it will end up taking a little less time. But it won't make as much of a difference as it would make if SF and LA were about 200 miles apart as opposed to 400 miles.

It ultimately depends on where your start and end points are in each city. I ran a quick calculation on a hypothetical trip from Santa Monica to central SF and came out with the train taking 15 minutes longer.

HS1 passes through my home borough and I haven't heard any noise complaints about it; in addition, I've found it really useful for when I've had to take trips to Kent.

Yes, there's a premium on it, but there's something about whooshing through the countryside at 140mph that really appeals to me.

Good; anything to reduce the number of SUVs on the roads.
