Episode: High speed fail: How the Government broke its HS2 promises
Description: HS2 has been beset with calamity – what promises have the Government broken on this flagship project? Christian Wolmar, journalist and train expert, joins Ros Taylor to discuss what has gone wrong and why it’s so hard to build a high-speed railway in Britain.
“HS2 is costing £100 million a week – imagine the end cost.”
“We never holistically planned the project, and we’ve muddled through to huge costs.”
“Building a high-speed rail from a poor to rich area impoverishes the poor area.”
