Greb147 6,810 Posted August 22, 2021 Report Share Posted August 22, 2021 It looks like the next phase of HS2 is going to be scrapped immediately, I predicted that it wouldn't get beyond Birmingham.

Greb147 6,810 Posted August 22, 2021 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2021 I can't see this being a permanent decision, who knows though, I hope so. I just don't think the reward was worth the costs and environmental damage. I suppose it's on how you look at things. I get that the proposed plans would have a knock on effect and likely benefit existing lines and help relieve road congestion but that could be managed by other means, i.e., working from home, etc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm wounded, some cracking houses were up for sale on an estate up this way, I imagine the signs will be getting flattened as we speak. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
