Despite being cut back HS2 continues to be a bottomless pit as far as money is concerned. How could things have been different?
If the building of HS2 had started in the North and proceeded south then the northern end would have been completed, remember that!
Even better, if Boris Johnson had not decided to continue with HS2 massive amounts of money would have been saved, Boris’s judgement was not the best as we’re hearing in the snippets and soundbites that are coming out of the Covid enquiry – itself another gravy train for certain professions and people.
What we used to call common sense is in short supply, especially in MPs and every other elected representative.
