Exerlent again great information but it is painfully slow progress
What intrigues me is Japan. They would fly this just over and "minimial envioremtal impact of nature".. and noise. Even on outskirts of a city https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6CqnkLc75GA
Great update Karl.
Just as you occasionally get obsessive HS2 h4ters in the comments (despite the fact that it's too far along to stop), I can't help but wonder if there's a few in the planning process who are wielding their little bit of power, in the futile hope that it will, somehow, result in cancellation of the whole thing! 😁
Thank you Karl!
"October". Did they give you that in writing?😃
As you say Karl, the construction of the Oxford Road diversion is very slow, as is the work onwards towards the Thame Valley Viaduct, the construction of which is going forward at a great pace.
You see some inexplicable things on these videos, like the overhead power line centre frame at 0:20 that will stop the viaduct installation. Why the hell has it not been diverted underground yet? DNO dragging their feet?
With the majority of the project cancelled, Leeds, Manchester etc. and even earlier than that, the HS1-HS2 connection and the potential spur to Heathrow, has the budget for the only phase left, Phase 1, been ringfenced? Now we know HS2 will definitely be built between Old Oak Common and Curzon Street, someone in Government must be able to provide definitive numbers as to the cost of OOC to CS. If the billions 'saved' by aborting most of the project are still swilling around in the construction of Phase 1, is it any wonder that nothing much seems to be happening very fast in this area?
The whole thing is a shambles. I want to know how much OOC to Curzon Street is going to cost me. And I'm not talking about the return fare.
