HS2: Should we just cancel it now?!

Play Video

Episode Overview

Without HS2, the West Coast Main Line will soon be rammed. We speak to experts Simon Pilkington and William Barter to explain why.

We ask whether the problematic Trent Valley bottleneck can ever be resolved on the WCML.

And controversially, we ask whether we should just cancel HS2 right now. Is there any point in continuing if we only build Phase 1?

We also bring you some little teasers from our upcoming videos on Network Rail’s New Measurement Train (the Flying Banana as it is often known), and the Global Centre of Rail Excellence (GCRE) in South Wales.
