Really shame that is doesn't go up till Scotland and than some HS3 maybe cause it gives true real prosperity to the UK citizens and economy and if its really expensive i think this and some defence spending that UK at all isn't doing like warships shipbuilding or missile it gives a lot to the UK and this and that is the most citizen spend money that isn't just bulls.. and research and development. So UK gov wake up.

HS2 is such an amazing and benefitial project. Shame the short sighted PM decided to drastically curtail this project back to handsacre and left Euston in uncertainty in a quite clearly political move (wouldnt suprise me if it fell victim to the pro-car junk that Sunak did after Tuckwell won in Uxbridge). Lets just hope that at least the Crewe leg gets brought back at the minimum in order to let HS2 truly fufill its purpose.

I love travelling by train, and I'm thoroughly content with buses and coaches for shorter journeys. But no way would I use HS2! On a normal train journey there's the sheer joy of witnessing the ever-changing scenery and sky. A journey I made from Kings Cross to Aberdeen comes to mind. Thanks to YouTube videos, we now know that a large part of the HS2 route will be underground. So I reckon many travellers will continue to use traditional railway routes - overground!

Fully agree with you regarding inept politicians (all of them). And as you say it was started in London for political reasons. Can't see how the channel tunnel delayed HS2. The original 32.70 billion budget for HS2 was a figure pulled out of the air by HS2 as the government indicated 32.70 billion was the maximum cost they would sanction so HS2 told the government it could be built for that figure. Therefore the 32.70 billion figure has no credence. Which therefore makes a cost comparison between the 32.70 billion hypothetical figure and what it really costs irrelevant. The construction contract HS2 has been let on is the new engineering contract (NEC) option C actual target cost which is the same contract used for crossrail. It requires the Contractors to provide a fully audited paper trail of all costs. It also requires the Contractors to provide early warning notices to HS2 if an event occurs which might increase costs or increase time duration. As the project design is a continuous ongoing exercise the early warning notices become a continuous ongoing exercise so the cost keeps going up and will do so until all design work and all planning requirements become fully known.
