I read HS2 will only reduce journey times between London and Birmingham by 24 minutes, better for Manchester.
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. https://www.cnbc.com/2018/03/12/cali...n-trouble.html 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. |

So basically cancelling that allows them to fund all the other commitments they have made already. Pretty obvious strategy

[HS2: Ministers and bosses knew railway was over budget years ago
By Tom Burridge Transport correspondent, BBC News ] https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-49450297 [Crucially, the documents were written in 2016, before MPs had signed off the first phase of the project. It is evidence that both the public and Parliament were not given the full picture about the true cost. The Department for Transport said: "Like all major, complex projects delivery plans evolve over time." "We regularly keep Parliament and members of the public updated on the progress of the project," the DfT added. HS2 Ltd is a public company, set up to build a new high-speed line linking London, Birmingham, Manchester and Leeds. It is funded by the taxpayer.] Last edited by arista; 27-08-2019 at 04:06 PM. |

Who, Douglas?

They better not cancel this. Travelling to London is a nightmare
Also planning on buying property in Manchester when this is confirmed as this transport route will make the value much greater with the possible commute to London
