Need #HS2 completed in full as well as extn to Scotland!
Northern Powerhouse rail necessary too. MML electrification from South Wigston to Nottm/Derby-Leeds & electrification Plymouth-Derby

I make no comment about whether we should be spending this amount or not. But people tend to think expensive mitigation is solely the preserve of #HS2

I had the privilege of walking 1.6km over a completed section of HS2 Water Orton Viaduct on Wednesday. It's been fascinating watching it take shape over the last 3 years. 1/2 #HS2

HS2 is continuing construction work on other viaducts, including the Saltley viaduct in Birmingham. https://www.railadvent.co.uk/2026/10/hs2-completes-320m-long-northamptonshire-viaduct.html #hs2 #northamptonshire

Was at Handsacre yesterday and noticed an excavator in the main site. Not sure if it was there to clear what remained or prepare for remobilisation. Worryingly though all the signage has gone 😬 #HS2

I shouldn't be surprised I guess, but I do find myself bemused by all of the opposition to this project. For years people have been saying they don't support #HS2 because it doesn't benefit them. But even what is a highly-localised project is facing opposition and criticism.

#HS2 is delivering an increase in bio diversity. I think this is good! But this chalk wildlife area is replacing what was productive farm land. Is wildlife more important than food production 🤔
