Ha ha ha.... the disgrace that is HS2 just gets worse.

Now, to save money the Govt. has decided to reduce the top speed of trains on the new lines (thereby reducing the specifications of the system & making it cheaper to construct).

Whatever might think of the original conception of High Speed Rail, this project has demonstrated the difficulty the UK in actually delivering infrastructure projects (and specifically railways).

Just ludicrous

@ChrisMayLA6 This is infuriating!
All, the money, pollution, and land destroyed for something very few wanted, or will benefit from, and it's over budget, late, and now not even what it was supposed to be.
Just disgusting! 🤬
