I swear by the time they build HS2, we'll have invented mass teleportation and all forms of transport will be obsolete.

It will probably have cost more to scrap it at this stage, they'd be sued by all awarded contracts. . It's a mess, a big unnecessary mess.

China offers to build HS2 in 5 years
I say take it,

HS2: UK in talks with China over construction of high-speed line
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-51512831
[China's state railway company said it could build the line
in just five years and at a much lower cost,
according to a letter seen by Building magazine]

I still wonder how they can justify the monetary and environmental cost for the sake of less than an hour. ..

Today
The PM Johnson was on the London HS2 Site.



He is now backing this Overpriced 340miles Railway
to Birmingham.

The Silly Protestors (soon to be removed from Denham)
say look at Railway now?

No, this is about the future
this 240miles an hour, Train
is beyond Covid-19.

Jones' Hill Wood, Aylesbury Vale

Illegal Trespassers/Protesters are being Removed

As that Land is now owned by HS2
and they are working to get that railway on track.


Was just on BBCnewsHD
Live Reporter there.

On BBC1 London
they are showing a Secret Tunnel built by
HS2 Protestors at an Euston Park,
of course, they do not show how you get to the entrance.

Built by Swampy and his group.


An Expert watched the Video
and said it's not that safe.


https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-55796445


Soon they will be removed
