BEAUTIFUL STEAM ENGINE!!! 🚂!!! BEAUTIFUL STEAM TRAIN!!! 🚂🚃🚃🚃!!!

Hi Keith! Many thanks for the comprehensive explanations. Far more info than I was able to disseminate with my PetertheRock videos. (I've released 136 HS2 related videos now so far, hopefully with some whimsical musings). These are in a style different to yours - but all the styles, including the drones footage, Steve and Dave F's comments etc etc compliment each other. It's great to see a fellow enthusiast's video! Thanks!

I thought most people were against HS2, seems to be supportive of it in these comments. But really? £108 billion just so a small group of commuters can get from London to Birmingham 20 mins earlier? really?

Thanks Keith for a very informative video and for all your work on putting it together...👍👍👍

What is the vent shaft for what is it venting ????????

Absolutely a brilliant documentary. Well done.

Looking at the view at Minute 7.10 how can anyone say that HS2 have worked hard to protect the natural environment. Where are all the trees now that once covered that landscape, as in the background by the lakes

What I might be tempted to do is go and look at HS1 and do something similar to this. The first part has been open now for 21 years and this will give your viewers an idea of what things will look like once the trees and plants mature. HS1 sits in the landscape now unnoticed.

Clean-up and habitat restoration is going to be well worth the challenge.

HS2 is basic and essential national infrastructure and must be completed. If we can only get from London to Birmingham in the first instance then so be it. London to Birmingham is the first segment but a later administration will build the subsequent sections once the first segment is complete.

A viaduct built in the traditional style would fit in with the surrounding countryside. Instead we get a giant concrete eyesore.

The artist impressions provided to you some years ago, of the Headhouse constructions, seem to be very close to the actual.

Ludicrous project, but awesome engineering. The viaduct is actually quite beautiful - hoping it doesn't have problems once in service. Very interesting update indeed - thank you!

Amazing project.

Great update. Thanks very much Keith. Look forward to January '25.

I always enjoy these video updates ~ but for gods sake enough of the bloody oak trees. Tree’s are transient fixtures on the landscape. Perhaps you should dwell on the council wasting public money on planning appeals.

"promosm"

I hate HS2

Its taking way too long to build. Is all the workers stuck in bullet time. Wallace and Gromit could lay tracks faster. No wonder the bill for this project is ballooning. Its some thing we dont need to a place no one wants to go. Even london didnt want it.

Thank you for a very interesting talk through the HS2 route, I can see a lot of work has been put into this video and it will be a great record for years to come, thank you Keith.

And these coffin dodgers are the reason why the people of Leeds and Manchester will not be getting high speed lines to their cities so these tea sipping fascists don’t have to have a frightful train line in their site…

An incredible amount of research. Thank you so much.

Good in depth overview of HS2 in the Chilterns very informative look forward to July 13th instalment. As another commenter said it’s not about the cost it’s about the positive outcome it will bring to the traveller and freight. The existing network is full and new pathing and possible new stations and lines are nigh on impossible to fit with the current network.

Enjoyed that Keith, thank you for taking the time to do this 👍

To my way of thinking spending £7billion a year on improved infrastructure is much better than £49billion on Defence, why is this project is always about cost and not value for money and improvement of connectivity. Our government can happily spend £3.5 billion on the war in Ukraine but not improve life chances of citizens in the north of the UK!!! HS2 is another example of the Tory's appalling waste of money to line private industry's pockets. We need the whole of it and the High Speed across the Northern Corridor so as we can use existing railways to move freight.

its always old codgers talking about how it looks on the landscape there is nothing wrong with the viaduct your time is nearly up let young people make the decision after all they will live with it

Great work Keith. I live very close to the north portal so this info is good.

A very thorough overview and well explained with really useful labels on the photos. Thanks for taking the trouble to make this update.

NEVER TRUST TORIES WITH INFRASTRUCTURE. This lot in charge are especially bad.

Hello from Kansas 🇺🇲

HS2 is an environmental disaster of epic proportions & Britain's biggest infrastructure mistake in half a century.

I imagine the Chiltern Tunnels are more expensive to build than the Colne Valley Viaduct Had the track gone through a shallow cutting as on the Paris to Calais route, a massive amount of money would have been saved. I am aware this is a very controversial project, but I feel it must be pointed out. I think the commentary was very balanced however.

The UK has a crushing shortage of houses, business premises, and infrastructure. NIMBYs are the reason.

Very interesting update as always. Seems that this is the peak civil engineering construction period with work beginning to wind down with the completion of the Chiltern Tunnel. Look forward to the July update.

a pity the images ar not sharp

very interesting thank you

Brilliant update. Thanks for making these videos.

It's says 2024 steam gala

Utter devastation for a vanity project,...

I wonder if there was such an outcry when the M40 was built

Great video footage. Very sad to see all the beautiful countryside where I grew up being destroyed! 👏🏻

Excellent. I'm looking forward to hopping on the train at Euston and alighting in Edinburgh three hours later. This new infrastucture, despite the environmental carnage, is going to level-up the whole of Britain. Oh, right. And then I woke up ...

What crap over priced. LIKE LONDON ULEZ. FULL OF SHI.................... GOVERNMENT WANT TO KILL LOWWER PAID FAMILIES. LABOUR WITH RIGHT WING AGENDA ARE NO BETTER THIER LEADER IS A BLAIRITE SELF RIGHTEOUS . BLAIR honoured him for helpin cover up his killings. I C C Needs try these people. for mass killings lying NO WMD.

If the activity at the Colne Valley viaduct and the West Ruislip tunnel entrance are anything to go by, then you'd hardly know there is a major construction project is underway. The traffic in and out ofthe various sites is rarely seen. The management of this project is superb. Worth every penny.

Sorry, but totally boring !

You are recording a form of this nation's belligerently destructive status quo - down, down, say goodbye to that beautiful gently undulating landscape across the top of the Chilterns to Jones Hill Wood

You could like the ballet if you forget the cost (environment & cash)

The Tories are a worthless , rudderless bunch . They should move over ,we’ve had enough, thanks.

Biggest waste of British tax payers money in history. I would be proud of working on this project and make a video on it. 👎🏻🤮 It’ll be over budget as usual and years late on completion. Britain just cannot deliver construction jobs on time and on budget unlike the German ICE rail project between Düsseldorf - Frankfurt am main - Berlin which was completed on time and on budget and that was about 20 years ago. You should all be ashamed of yourselves 👎🏻

This does seem a bit short-sighted, when the rail line is complete all these construction sites will be landscaped to look just as they did before, if not better. All this "devastation" is temporary. Y'all nimbys arent complaining about the devastation caused by the roads (for example the A413), some of you are even complaining that it will limit the ability to expand the A413, if that awful road got expanded think about the "devastation" that would happen then. I feel that HS2 was marketed so poorly and the braindead nimbyism was so strong that now everyone in those areas are complaining about it without realising the costs they are adding to the project.
