Are We There Yet?

The half-baked plans to save a few minutes between 'the north' and London may not reach, errr, London.
Is there ANYTHING this country and governments can do properly, cheating excepted.

Put portacabins in them and house the boat people in expensive hotel accommodation would be my suggestion.

the terminus at Euston will cost a lot of cash. so the bean counters looked to truncate the line at Old Oak Common, where connections will be available to the Elizabeth Line. What they also needed to do was ensure that making Old Oak Common a terminus would be viable. As designed, as a through station it could turn back 3 services an hour, and it's being built like that now. Redesigning and rebuilding it to cope with even half of the proposed full HS2 service will cost more than scrapping Euston.

so it's simple economics that'll see it built through to Central London.

It's political too, Chunt has said it will go to Euston. If you believe anything that comes out of that smarmy rats mouth.

Oddly enough 'stop digging' is exactly what's going to happen along with comprehensive demolition.

Toradamus maybe? x
