HS2 is still a winner for freight http://dlvr.it/TJdsmV #HighSpeed2 #HS2 #Infrastructure #OldOakCommon
!!COOL RAILWAY NEWS KLAXON!!
The absolte madlads behind HS2 have just *SLID* a bridge over the A413 and a railway line.
How cool is that!? I realise engineer-y folks will say it's boring normal stuff, but to me this is cool!
You can see them doing it here:

BBC NewsWatch: HS2 viaduct deck slide installation in BuckinghamshireTime-lapse footage shows engineers completing the largest and longest viaduct operation of its type.
The scale of #hs2 is awe inspiring.
Here's a screenshot from HS2 Phaste 2b showing a plan of Manchester Piccadilly station, alongside the "Classic" station.
Awe inspiringly big. An 11 car Pendolino is long, and HS2 trains are EVEN LONGER!
From https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/hs2-phase-2b-plan-and-profile-maps-crewe-to-manchester-2022 (sheet M3 Hulseheath to Manchester Piccadilly Station Plan & Profile Sheet 10 of 10 Chainage 304+000 to 304+887)
It's a blessing that the Tories didn't try to sell off all the rights of way purchased for HS2. It gives Labour more of an open goal for resurrecting the project without the astronomical costs of re-purchasing all the sold land. Let's hope this happens!

Comment: UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak’s decision to abandon the remaining phases of the #HighSpeed2 programme reflects the government’s growing antipathy to rail investment and equivocation about climate targets.
