There's a project to build a high-speed rail link in California between Los Angeles and San Francisco, where the cost and completion time has also gone way over the estimates. It could get canceled also.

I was reading about it because some of the Democrats in America published a Green plan which included a proposal to replace a lot of air travel with high-speed rail. The intentions are good with these things but the difficulty is in the small details, which increases costs and delays, and reduces the benefit of it.


Yes with HS2 its the Land Costs
that was not predicted correct



Yes that USA California Fast underground sells well
but again its the Costs not corrected in time



The Democrats Green " ideas"
are not worthy of talking about
as none of those dreams are being made law
