As many questions about HS2 remain unanswered, work on the project grinds on.
It would shorten journey times but crucially free up capacity on the existing routes for more local services and freight.It's not clear if it will go from Euston or Old Oak Common as the funding at Euston seems dependant on private developers.It has always faced opposition but much of the work around Euston and the drilling of the huge tunnels going into Old Oak Common has started.We took a truck to travel the 2 miles or so into the tunnel.
"It was not that nice an occurrence and people might have been worried. But from an engineering perspective or environmental perspective, there was at no point anything to worry about - all our settlements are within the predicted limits," said Mr Greiner.- with many people in west and north-west London opposing the scheme as they fail to see any benefits. Many along the line have lost their homes.
So is the scheme worth it now? Is there any point having a slightly faster link between London and Birmingham?
