So when #HS2 was approved I was shouted down by RAIL Magazine and Paul Bigland #FBPE, that I was talking rubbish when I said costs would spiral. Bigland especially took pleasure in mocking anti-HS2 protestors... who’s laughing now? Well over budget, failing CEO and still a waste of money!
Michael Byng on BBC Radio 4 currently estimates Phase 1 of #HS2 to cost entire #HS2 budget at £55.95b! No doubt RAIL Magazine and especially their most vocal contributor Paul Bigland #FBPE will state he doesn’t know what he’s talking about. Value for Money... yeah right!
Ha ha, as predicted #HS2 on the edge of collapse, now costing well over £100bn, so looks like PB Photography #FBPE and RAIL Magazine backed the wrong horse! All the abuse PB Photography #FBPE dealt out at people who were wrong didn’t make a difference... 😎🍷Not sure I trust Rt Hon Sir Grant Shapps to invest tho
So what excuses will Greater Anglia come up with for the 153s on the Bury routes now another 2 3-car 170s have left?
So come on Richard Clinnick and RAIL Magazine, explain why Greater Anglia won’t come clean on new trains not operating track circuits! Oh, and whilst your their maybe you could comment on Johnson admitting #HS2 costing £100Bn+?
So PB Photography #FBPE what’s your response to Johnson revealing cost of #HS2 as £100Bn+? I recall you taking the piss when I said it would be way more than £56Bn....
So, the white elephant that is #HS2 is a commuter service to Crewe… Totally useless and an excuse for the Tory Donors to reap rewards from the £100Bn, as predicted by many, but denied by RAIL Magazine and others! Complete farce!
DfT says rail benefits to come 10 years early amid fury over cuts to #HS2. Tories let down the North once again, and the folly espoused so much by RAIL Magazine dies a slow and expensive death, as predicted by so many and denied by a few…. theguardian.com/uk-news/2021/n…
