The last video of what turned out to be a 3 part mini series drops at 14:00. The video provides details of the #HS2 section from the Victoria Road Crossover Box to Euston Tunnel. Which means it's taken 3 videos just to cover the final 9km long section of HS2 to Euston station!

An image of Heidi Alexander holding up a Great British Railways liveried IET, with AnyTransport logo in the top left. A title saying "HS2 could run 16% slower than planned to save money" and a description saying "Reducing the controversial high-speed rail's top speed from its planned 360kph (223mph) could save "billions and bring the railway into service sooner," Transport Secretary Heidi Alexander said."
π° Reducing #HS2's top speed from its planned 360kph (223 mph) could save "billions and bring the railway into service sooner", Transport Secretary Heidi Alexander has said in a letter to MPs.

"New #HS2 farce as trains to be made slower and even more expensive"
A farce which is a direct result of constant government interference!

Having said that if opening at 300-320km/h results in #HS2 opening sooner than I'm not against it. What has frustrated me is the usual poor reporting by the media and people's over reaction to what is a non story. 9/9

Then there's design speed. Which takes into account bridges, tunnels, track, systems and of course trains. For #HS2, that is a maximum of 360km/h. 4/9

The saving money claim I'll get to in a minute. But it's first important to understand the difference between alignment speed, which is the theoretical maximum speed that could be achieved based on the curve radii on the route, which in the case of #HS2 is 400km/h 3/9

#HS2 is 'TOO SLOW' now? The short answer is no. But it is ironic to see people on social media getting very angry at recent media reports, after years of people saying that HS2 is 'too fast'. As ever there's more to this so I thought I'd try to explain. 1/9

#HS2 has been designed to allow trains to run at up to 360km/h. The UK's HS1 operates at up to 300km/h, so limiting the speed of HS2 to 300km/h, in order to save money, makes sense, especially as England needs more rail capacity, not higher speeds.

The real question is why #HS2 doesn't follow the line of the M40. Local Tories promised in 2010 to change the route. They didn't.

17 years after a previous Labour gvt proposed drawing a straight line across the Chilterns AONB, to maximise speed, "Ministers tell #HS2 to consider slower train speeds to cut costs." Hard to make up. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

Look another Ferry Story ? π
HS2 has been vastly over budget , has been cut short , now they canβt afford to test the HS trains .
If only this was a SNP story.

Why was #HS2 designed, at massive expensive, to run at 224mph, anyway?
Surely, with less than 120 miles to run between London and Birmingham, it can hardly run at full speed for long before it needs to apply the brakes?

#HS2 trains will use less energy travelling at 360kph than a Class 373 travelling at just 300kph due significant to efficiency and weight improvements since the Eurostar units were built. 2/5

I haven't been able to read the pay wall articles. But the Β£1bn per mph claim seems absurd. What are they even basing that on? Energy costs, infrastructure? 1/5 #HS2
