#hs2 — Public Fediverse posts

Oh, the sad irony! Mile for mile, the Lower Thames Crossing (LTC) is likely to be more expensive than HS2. The latest LTC current cost estimate is at least £11 billion for 14.3 miles of ‘smart’ motorway and tunnel. #rail #roads #infrastructure #HS2 https://transportactionnetwork.org.uk/lower-thames-crossing-repeats-hs2-mistakes-and-costs-more-per-mile/

HS2

I’m deeply sick of the vanity project called HS2. And today Simon Jenkins has a piece in The Guardian also decrying the project.

I’ve been saying this, or something like it, since the outset. This money could have been (and still could be) much better spent on upgrading the existing rail infrastructure across the whole country and likely at half the cost. Instead we have a Tory party (from recollection it was George Osborne) vanity project, which has conned every successive government, and for which IMO there was never a business case. It’s not too late to pull the plug and avoid an even greater waste of money and environmental destruction for something we don’t need.

Moreover we must be the laughing stock of the world when it takes us 30+ years to build a railway line.

I despair of this country!

#HS2 is now estimated at £1B/mile according to the discussion; that's about USD833M/km. Spain builds #HSR at USD21M/km.

There is more than a passing chance that I will be dead before something that was never going to be of any use to me proves to be never of any use to me.

£102.7 BILLION. I would ask, “Solid gold rails?”, but Heidi Alexander said, “I can confirm that the previous government spent most of HS2’s budget without laying a single mile of track. … If it seems like an obscene increase in times and costs, that is because it is.”
