Hs2 WCM its Big 23-24 down towards Hunts Green Tamworth Staffordshire update
The HS2 leg from Crewe to Manchester was cancelled, but the legislation for it has been reintroduced and might be used for other transport projects. In his speech to the Conservative Party Conference on 4 October 2023, the Prime Minister Rishi Sunak announced that HS2 will run only from London to the West Midlands.

Great video, Paul! When are you going to get some more footage around the West Midlands Signalling Centre?
Thanks for the feedback got loads more content to come if you could give me os areas I will do my best to cover that area for at a later date regards PCGB
Great vid! Can you date all the bits
No access to the A38 North bound now for goodness knows how long. So much damage to trade in Lichfield....The south bound slip was closed for 18 months, so it looks like 3yrs the slips at Streethay have been affected 😢
I hadn't realised just how close to Moor Street Station the entrance to the new station is going to be. Some real progress there.
The main Entrance to Birmingham Curzon Street Station will be next door to Birmingham Moor Street Station on Moor Street Queensway in the City Centre which has always been the plan with a second entrance near the old Curzon Street Sttion buildings are
I hope this wider regeneration of Eastside spurred on by HS2 and the Trams will make them close a lot of the 3/4/6 lane roads and consolidate them into 2 lane roads with plenty of pavements, segregated cycle lanes and greenery. Birmingham is a nightmare to navigate unless you're in a vehicle.
Since when, I live in Birmingham and find no problem navigating arround the City Centre on foot
@@peterwilliamallen1063 Besides New Street and Centenary Square, almost everywhere else you have to cross umpteen roads to get to where you want to go. The tram eastside extension should - as far as possible - transform roads into tram, cycle and pedestrian only.
@@jonathanwilliams9697 As a Brummie I disagree with you as most of the City Centre is pedestranised and has been since the 1970's
Great vid 🙂 SO LOVE THE SONG TOO!!! 😀
Waste of money The city council is broke
How far have they got too?
Crazy. The rich boys train set.
so birmingham will have more platforms than Euston
And be far larger than Euston station
So is this in essence a reboot of the restoration that began over two years ago, but stalled due to funding issues, as the structural work was far more involved than the original budget realised?

Great drone footage and amazing aerial view. 👍👍👍Thanks for sharing. Subbed and Liked. 👍👍👍
Thanks for the sub!
Great progress and from the higher perspective views for Birmingham and HS2. The heritage alignments and monuments integrating with the plan. Good noted information.
Yeah, really great "progress" .. the Golborne link - scrapped. The Eastern leg - scrapped. The Northern leg - scrapped. The disaster that is Euston station .. "on hold" for two years & will only continue if private investment can be found. What's left of this monstrous vanity project is just another shuttle service between west London & Birmingham that'll be nothing more than a glorified cycle path within a decade of opening. HS2 is an environmental disaster of epic proportions & Britain's biggest infrastructure mistake in half a century.
@@CRIMSONANT1 God not you at it aain James baby, HS2 was only realy ever planned to run from London Euston to Birmingham and Manchester, the Eastern leg was a disasterouse waste of time and money from the start, If you do a bit of reserch Jamesey you will find that just on the outskirts of Birmingham a massive Delta Junction is being constructed to allow HS2 trains to travel from Birmingham to both London, Manchester and Scotland and also from London Euston to Manchester, Liverpool and Scotland with a junction at Handscre in Staffordshire, oh living in Newcastle upon Tyne you won't know where Handsacre is would you, where the HS2 route will joint the existing WCML taking the HS2 trains North, but there are plans to revive the Manchester link and also they are now tunnelling from London OOC to London Euston as OOC is not desighned as a terminal station. So if you think this is an enviromental disaster what was the Liverpool and Manchester Railway, sorry you don't know much do you so crawl back into your cot and drink your milk.
Why are us northerners paying for a project that isn't even going to go to the north
Every body says that, so answer this why are people inthe West Midlands paying for Rail improvements in the North, works both ways
@@peterwilliamallen1063 are they though because the rail network in my area in north east is absolutely dog shit 🤣
Great video! Thanks!! 👍🏻
Oh what a tangled web we weave! If you were designing the railways around the city center from scratch you surely wouldn't do it like that. Is that Moor St in the shot and where the lines into New St pass beneath between 1:00 and 1:30? It looks like there might have been platforms once that those steps led down to. It also illustrates how close all these stations will be once Curzon St is completed.
It is Moor Street Station of which HS2 Birmingam Curzon Street will sit next too, the time it has taken to build this and costs ment there was no way that it was going to go under Birmingham City Centre
I believe these to be the finest sounding peal of ten bells in existence. I had the pleasure of ringing there a few years ago
Grew hearing them every Sunday morning ♥️
Nothing but a monstrous blot on the landscape & a complete & utter waste of billions of pounds. HS2 is an environmental disaster of epic proportions & Britain's biggest infrastructure mistake in half a century.
Fabricant and Sense; the greatest magnitude of oxymoron possible. It was he who also did his damndest to stop Railtrack then Network Rail from four tracking the WCML through Lichfield. The vision of a microorganism!
We do not talk about incompetence and corruption in the UK that much, but other UA-cam videos commenters have not held back on the waste and bureaucracy surrounding HS2. This project was very poorly thought through from the beginning and I have not seen anything change. Those responsible for this huge waste of public money should be held accountable.
.The then-Labour government created High Speed 2 Ltd (HS2 Ltd), a non-departmental government body funded by the Department for Transport (DfT) in January 2009 with the remit of investigating a potential route between London and the West Midlands, with a potential to continue to Scotland.
£155 BILLION and still rising plus........... nowhere near finished yet. The next train on platform 1 will be in several years time. £200 Billion by then? Might be worth a punt. Trouble is if you win the Liebour party will likely take most of it.
yes to the station
It would be utter lunacy to mess with the plans for HS2 as they stand. This project is the very bedrock of achieving net zero at some time in the future. If we can't free up the WCM so that it can carry billions more tons of freight then we're going to have to put it on the roads or in the air. Then we are up the Kyber without a paddle!
Was this taken on a Sunday? Very clear images but so few workers on site in such a large area!

I think ultimately it will all get built, but not for years as there's no money. Dumping hs2 trains onto the wcml at lichfield will get messy!
Amazing drone footage... can really see the extreme care to contain erosion and runoff into catch ponds... years ago this wouldn't be taken into account... everyone suffered because of this...

It might be a typo - but in your description text you say the line was handed back to NR on 16 August? Also you speak about the existing railway between Birmingham and Crewe. This stretch of the WCML bypasses the West Midlands, and goes nowhere near Birmingham. Perhaps you meant the existing railway between Rugby and Crewe.
Yes unfortunately pasted from hs2 site might be out dated
@@paulcgburrows7267 There are two overbridges shown in the clip. At 1:28 the bridge carrying the South Staffordshire line is centre screen. At the end, the bridge carrying the WCML is in the distance. I pass Streethay by road frequently. I wish they would get a move on with the A38 crossing!
The A38 crossing does seem to be getting on with a diversion of one carriageway almost complete to allow construction of an underpass. The two ends of the underpass appear to be complete.
@@Jamie92208 I passed Streethay again last night. They seem to have done a lot since the last time I was there, about 2 weeks ago I think.
No where near finished then, Ludicrous! The money for this crap, not going further north any more and this is the stage they're at!!FFS gets my goat.
Clearly you aren't familiar with construction timescales for major infrastructure projects. It wasn't even authorised by our rubbish politicians until early 2020. And factually you are wrong, the HS2 alignment goes significantly further north to Handsacre in Staffordshire.The trains themselves will carry on to Manchester, Liverpool, Lancaster and Glasgow.
You expected it all to be completed within a year? Ludicrous 🤣🤣
Ok genius 😂😂 where do you think they should be. I agree that scrapping the northern extension was horse shit the infrastructure in this country is phucked. Look on the bright side the Labour government wants 1.5 million houses built during this parliament. Labour are back god help us !!!!!
Try looking at the Construction of HS2 and it is being construuced up and down on the line of HS2 and is well under construction, I bet it wouldn't of been crap and waist of Money if it had gone to Manchester, but by the way HS2 trains will reach Manchester by joining the existing WCML at Handsacre in Staffordshire
@@peterwilliamallen1063 your own words. HS2 ALIGNMENT. It’s not HS2. In its planned form it was to be NEW HIGH SPEED connection. Familiar with construction far more than you can imagine. I travel up and down the M40 corridor regularly so don’t try to preach the amount of infrastructure that can be seen . Not forgetting that than isn’t seen. This country has longed for better transport links. Simple question. How can it pay for a lorry to come from Scotland to Devon. 👂👂👂
Excellent video although some kind of inset with a map of where your drone is and the direction the camera is pointing in would help identify locations. Not that I'm a UA-cam or drone expert! I used to live in Birmingham but many years ago and no doubt much has changed in that time. Thanks for putting that together
Up to 2:59 seems to be Washwood Heath to Curzon st viaduct. Next is around the triangle junction over M42 M6 area, which is very confusing as no videos of this area explain it with maps. Hint - they are all available via gov.uk website
The cost is not trillions, but works out at less than one percent of government spending during its construction.
Nice shots. I think this videos title and description don't really match up with the footage. You've got first the Kingsbury compound near Marston, then at 2:55 it's the A5 near Hints and finally 3:25 the A38 which is east of Lichfield
That's fine thanks just footage with no area reference needed from me
Looks like winter, cold and wet
Great video. I just noticed 3:50m in you cut to Balsall Common. Some hi res closeups of that area are needed
Thanks for that. I realise that this is the uncut version. I presume that most of the Delta Junction site is included along with the Interchange station site and at the end,I think, Water Orton and the start of the Bramford tunnels. There are some real signs of progress. Captions would be. Very helpful. Thanks again.
Bromford Tunnel not Bramford
Have you got a video continuing on from this? Towards Aston Church Bridge and beyond, thanks
Brilliant skills but a complete waste of taxpayers money as it only does 30% of the country and costing trillions
so so biggist white elephant ever London to Birmingham might save you 20 mins
Trillions?
@@paulcgburrows7267 40 mins sunshine, get it right ;-)
@@paulcgburrows7267 If you think that why are you doing a vidio on it, and it saves 40 mins each way from Birmingham to London not 20 mins bringing the time down from 90 mins to 50 mins
Its deverstating what this is doing to the area's its going through , just to lay a train line that will probably, in the future be the longest cycle track in the country
An amazing drone show footage video. Brilliant skills you have.
