HS2: A High-Speed Rail Project in Crisis?

The HS2 high-speed rail project is in serious trouble, its new CEO has warned, necessitating a major rethink.

Despite significant progress in construction, including miles of tunnels and numerous bridges, the project faces escalating costs.

Originally intended to connect major cities, the scope has been reduced, yet the financial challenges remain substantial.

Mark Wild, the CEO, aims to ensure the railway's safe and efficient completion, but the project's future remains uncertain.
