Here's a thread from former #StopHS2 campaign manager Joe Rukin on the #Panorama investigation he was involved in on #HS2.

The devastation of #HS2 is so great is because of this ridiculous design speed. It has to go straight, it can't bend round sensitive sites so this maximises the damage to the natural world and it has to be far wider than a traditional railway. And cost goes up. #Panorama

This is why, @hs2ltd, there is no such thing as planting a monoculture of saplings as "mitigation" for felling ancient woodland.

A single 400-year-old ancient oak produces 234,000 litres of oxygen a year while soaking up carbon dioxide, and can support more than 2,000 species of bird, insect, fungus, and lichen. Nature is amazing - we need more of it, not less. RT if you agree 🌳

They are trying to blame #HS2 cost increases on external stakeholders + delays. Where in reality blame lies at HS2 ltd the DfT and the crony corps building it on cost+. Tunnels and Batcaves don't explain 99% of the cost increases. +Doing things quickly led to poor ground surveys

Why can’t Britain build anything anymore? The news this week of the £100m ‘bat tunnel’ gave us some clues. Here’s the story of this tunnel, which has been 12 years in the making, and some thoughts on what it tells us

"#HS2 was always a Westminster monkey’s view of what would be good for the north, whereas we wanted better east-west transport links and maybe a few light rail metro services. We don’t want to get to London quicker. We hate the place." thetimes.com/comment/column…

OMG! Now I understand none other than Gareth-never-worked-for-HS2-Dennis worked on this. (Is that why so expensive?) The guy who @carla_denyer thought more trustworthy than @WoodlandTrust @friends_earth @WildlifeTrusts @AdrianRamsay @TheGreenParty @stophs2 @GreenAgainstHS2

This bat 'shed' that @HS2 said would cost £40m 4yrs ago, and bing built to protect known Bechstein habitat which, of course, @HS2 felled in order to make space for it. @AdrianRamsay @carla_denyer @TheGreenParty @stophs2 @ChilternGreens @GreenAgainstHS2 theguardian.com/uk-news/2024/n…


"Governmental willy-waving prioritised the high-speed aspect, hence the "High Speed 2" name and the needlessly expensive route for 250mph top speed (much faster than the European norm)." #PrivateEye #HS2

"The money could have been spent on a dozen transport projects more needed than knocking half an hour off a trip from London to Birmingham." #HS2 #StopHS2 theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

HS2. A way of seeking to empty the North's talent to London & promoting expensive properties near a handful of city centre stations to the detriment of everywhere else. newstatesman.com/comment/2024/1…
