Not a surprise though, surely.

Not just taxpayers money, a lot of misery for those whose homes were compulsory purchased.

Most things are achievable given the will and resources. It's unlikely to be that big a priority though.

[Gromit]

A bit misleading - Unachievable. You might think it cannot be done.

// The London to Birmingham leg of HS2 was due to open in 2026, but is now expected between 2029 and 2033.

In March, the government announced it was delaying the Birmingham to Crewe leg by two years to cut costs. //

So it can be achieved, just a little later than planned. As was every major infrastructure project over the last 50 years.

Ah, well, there will be something else insignificant to moan about tomorrow.

Perhaps address that to the infrastructure and projects authority Gromit. They seem to be the ones moaning that it's unachievable.
