🤣 if you do the maths on these, if we cancelled #hs2 in 2012 and spent all the money on SMRs instead we could have satisfied the entire energy needs of the UK by today and still have money left over to make the Severn Toll the price of a Freddo!


Work has started on the installation of a new cycle bridge over the Fosse Way, which was secured as legacy benefit from #HS2 by Warwickshire County Council in Parliament. It will link the Offchurch Greenway to the Lias Line route along a disused railway. mediacentre.hs2.org.uk/news/route-41-…

Same playbook they used to justify #hs2 setup technical colleges to “train all the workers”…..step 2 is invent thousands of jobs. Loads of expensive subsidies and no students later the whole thing collapses and gets disbanded!

What about the £8bn due to Wales because of Heathrow as well as #hs2 #bbcqt


A Keynesian calls a government spending project “green shoots”…..reminder we are spending £100bn on an equally wasteful Keynesian railway #hs2 which is currently 500% over budget and employing people to stand around looking at their phones!

There are some green shoots of recovery visible in Britain right now. The question is whether they will be given sufficient nurturing to reach their full potential.



Lower speeds, saving money and more trains sounds a bit better than hitherto. However, expanding area, A43 interchange and radial to #Silverstone orbit, we do need re-railing to #Brackley alongside or a station on the #HS2 One or two in 50-100 miles isn't that bad?!

#HS2 is 'TOO SLOW' now? The short answer is no. But it is ironic to see people on social media getting very angry at recent media reports, after years of people saying that HS2 is 'too fast'. As ever there's more to this so I thought I'd try to explain. 1/9

#HS2 is now set to be Slightly Slower 2. £billions squandered on shoe-horning a square White Elephant into round political hole. ‘Mendacious’ Rail - a poster boy for Government ineptitude. #TuesdayThoughts theguardian.com/uk-news/2026/a…


Loads of #hs2 nonsense over the weekend. Let’s try and put some of it right. 1) opting for much slower - 125mph would have made little if any difference to alignment. Yes, curves could have been tighter, but that would simply have taken the route closer to places…


#HS2 again…

Definetly agree with Chris's comments, varying the train order will only increase costs. Every meddle and tweak over the years has only increased costs. Having a plan & delivering it - is the cheapest was to deliver a project. Something a lot of politicians seem to struggle with



The govt is continuing it's assault on the old by putting forward a law that will allow them to divert your pension into what the state wants to do. Can you imagine what your pension would be like invested in #HS2?

@TheGreenParty I believe you changed your sensible stance on #hs2 and decided to back this boondoggle. Yet another reason not to vote Green

Deripaska making millions from #hs2 via his mate George Osborne!

The Mail on Sunday can reveal today that Keir Starmer's team received a briefing from security sources in 2023 about Peter Mandelson that included: * The revelation his friendship with Epstein dated back to 2006 * The pair were being monitored by Russian intelligence, who viewed



That would be the Oleg Deripaska with business links to George Osborne…..the same Deripaska making millions from #hs2

Just ran this calculation through ChatGPT @TiceRichard @ZiaYusufUK @ClaireCoutinho If we cancelled #hs2 and used all the money to build Rolls Royce SMRs instead….. The cost of electricity for an average UK household would be less than £100 per annum!


What kind of sneaky politician would change their opinion after getting into Government? #HS2


HS2 Chiltern Tunnel structure complete! 🇬🇧 A massive civil engineering feat: • 33 months of tunneling by TBMs • Shifts focus to vital systems installation • Key step for Phase One operational readiness #HS2


About sums up #HS2 what is everyone’s thoughts ? This is an AI produced video, but says what everyone is thinking. Watch until the end. Sad but true 🤬🤬🤬 #wasteofmoney


How the new #HS2 will look leaving Birmingham.


Imagine what the media would say if they REALLY knew what was going on with the large infrastructure building projects. The money that has been wasted is borderline criminal. Old Oak Common anyone? Wow! Close to putting suppliers under with that disaster of a project!!!#HS2

The #HS2 reset delayed for more months to a vague "before the summer recess" . Note this is not a release to the public. The government will likely sit on on it for even longer while it approves (disputes?) the figures. Typical MO this, hide bad news and ramp up the spending.

More #HS2 nightmares in #Lichfield❗️ A38 closure from 9pm on 27th March to 5am on 8th April. All my fault! Instead of the original plan to have a whopping great flyover by Boley Park visible for miles, I shifted it slightly away from Lichfield and got them to tunnel UNDER the A38

The last video of what turned out to be a 3 part mini series drops at 14:00. The video provides details of the #HS2 section from the Victoria Road Crossover Box to Euston Tunnel. Which means it's taken 3 videos just to cover the final 9km long section of HS2 to Euston station!

For the first time in 10 years, central government accepts there is no need for 'a new railway across the Pennines'. But they still claim there's a need for a new railway from Manchester to Liverpool (there are *three* railways already). #northernpowerhouserail #hs2 #uklabour

I've been given grief in the past for stating how opposition to #HS2 primarily comes from southern Tory NIMBYs personally aggrieved by public infrastructure. So it's always nice to see a former Tory party member come out & say it to wipe away any doubt.
