Cool, lest build them then. (They would have cost far less if the government didn't meddle with the project every few months)

Indeed but at least it looks like it's happening

Also they said "Government confirmed funding for tunnelling from Old Oak Common to Euston in the Autumn Budget. Ensuring HS2 trains terminate in central London" maybe I'm just cynical but they sounds like we will build the tunnels but not the station?

Doesn't matter, just get the bloody thing built.

Gotta get those juicy contracts for your besties, right? And - if it's the taxpayer footing the bill - it's a victimless crime, right?
