The #HS2 facts haven't changed, costs always exceeded benefits, the plan was sexed up. On 28.2.11 I said on @R4today that it would be cancelled but only after £bns squandered. The final outcome is even worse. Enquiry needed.
HS2 didn't just fiddle the figures on the business case, they did the same on the environment. The #HS2 nature loss sums are wrong say the @WildlifeTrusts #ReThinkHS2. Sign the Open Letter: wildlifetrusts.org/hs2-sign-our-o…
It was clear when @KwasiKwarteng was on the transport select committee he could be easily hoodwinked by a dodgy (HS2) business plan (costs x3 and benefits slashed since then). But now we're completely screwed
Our old house! And what was once the beatiful leafy greenway. What an appalling loss of nature for the @hs2 white elephant
"The village of Burton Green looks like a war zone while the work goes on .. Although Mother Nature will help to heal the landscape one way or another in future just like she always does, many will still lament the loss of ancient hedgerows and woodlands." birminghammail.co.uk/news/midlands-…
Why does #HS2 tweet so much? Because someone is paid a fortune to do it, in a desperate attempt to convince the public who know its a white elephant.
This is utter nonsense. Speed is not green. There are no flights on the HS2 routes.
HS2 will be the low carbon alternative for long distance travel. Quicker, cleaner connections between our biggest cities will help to reduce the number of domestic flights taken, putting us on track to achieve net-zero by 2050. Learn more: hs2.org.uk/why/carbon/

This is nonsense because #HS2 doesn't connect with Heathrow or HS1; MAN flights are just to connect with LHR; and there are no flights BHX to London.
HS2 will cut domestic flights, and help the country's fight against climate change. In Italy, air's share of the Rome-Milan route fell from 52% to 21%. High speed rail’s is 67%, up from 36%. railwaygazette.com/high-speed/hig…

Much faster, cheaper, and less damaging than #HS2. We can do better than investing so much in what is at heart Victorian rail technology unherd.com/2019/08/the-la…

The latest reason to scrap HS2
Will the Emirates' hyperloop get off the ground?
Oh dear - HS2 costs 20 per cent over budget before a spade has been turned. Likely to lead to delays?
Interim costs submitted to HS2 as part of main civils packages are coming in over budget with HS2 telling them to "sharpen their pencils" to cut costs... as exclusively revealed by @ncedigital goo.gl/tSGfw9
