Top Comments of this video!! :3
Good in depth overview of HS2 in the Chilterns very informative look forward to July 13th instalment.
As another commenter said it’s not about the cost it’s about the positive outcome it will bring to the traveller and freight. The existing network is full and new pathing and possible new stations and lines are nigh on impossible to fit with the current network.

To my way of thinking spending £7billion a year on improved infrastructure is much better than £49billion on Defence, why is this project is always about cost and not value for money and improvement of connectivity. Our government can happily spend £3.5 billion on the war in Ukraine but not improve life chances of citizens in the north of the UK!!! HS2 is another example of the Tory's appalling waste of money to line private industry's pockets. We need the whole of it and the High Speed across the Northern Corridor so as we can use existing railways to move freight.

I imagine the Chiltern Tunnels are more expensive to build than the Colne Valley Viaduct Had the track gone through a shallow cutting as on the Paris to Calais route, a massive amount of money would have been saved. I am aware this is a very controversial project, but I feel it must be pointed out. I think the commentary was very balanced however.
