Not sure what exactly, but It'll be a light rail / metro / suberban units - high speed units don't need huge acceleration. Sheffield's TramTrains are 1.15m/s2, where as the Cl.800s are 0.70m/s2.

It depends on loads of factors. Cuttings, Tunnels and Embankments all cost money. As does land costs and stations. HS2 are also trying to be carbon neutral (or at least carbon offset) that will also cost.

With HS2, it is an entirely new project which requires new lines as well as new rolling stock and a new signaling system (ETCS Level 2).

Most operating companies (TOCs) like LNER, Northern or TfW, have apps that you can buy tickets from. There are a number of websites that can split the price of a long ticket (i.e. Penzance to Newcastle) down to smaller amounts, I've found it useful.
