- HS2 works filmed by drone on 4 April 2024 at the works near Calvert Green, Calvert and Great Moor Sailing Club heading towards where HS2 meets East West Rail EWR at Steeple Claydon.
Plenty of new bridges and infrastructure being built for this project.
Excellent video. Many thanks for posting it.
Thanks - very interesting details of progress
It would be interesting to see the site on a working day. Would security stop you flying ?
Security asked me to stop at Winslow station, but as I’m not on their property there is nothing they can do, sadly my work hours prevent me getting there during the day during the week
This previously beautiful area which I know well has been devastated and looking at the ridiculous amount of land taken it is easy to see from this excellent video why costs have spiralled out of control.
Beautiful area??????? HOW ????? its flat, clay, wet and soggy, lake is allways dirty, proberly dangerous to health if swam in !!! I looked and did not try!!!! Go to the cotswolds for beauty please or even anywhere else please ...but then again beauty is in the beholder ,, and the beholders on the island voted for Brexit....so there you have it ... beauty is for you islanders .... appreciate ,, how are the roads around this region then???? Well up to standard and a beautifull surface...you all pay for ....BREXITLAND HA HA HA HAVE IT, ISLANDERS YOU DESERVE IT ..... 100%
I am very interested to read your comment. Considering the considerable reporting on this project, I am not aware that there has ever been an official explanation as to why an extraordinary amount of land has been blighted. Obviously earthworks cause some disruption, but on this scale?
Indeed. Right there at 2:00 you can see the modest footprint of the Great Central Railway, the high speed main line to the North in the early 20th century which had stations at places people actually wanted to go.
Of course, with hindsight, it was utter insanity to close this railway after less than 70 years but, as is always the case, the politicians of the time (and especially their lobbyists) had an agenda which paid scant regard to the needs of the people they were supposed to be serving.
Fast forward 60 years and ...
@@boblovell5789 HS2 have communicated about this; I'm watching construction from thousands of miles away, yet I'm aware of why. 1. For the construction of the haul road to minimise construction traffic on local roads. 2. To make space for temporary soil stockpiles, until the day that particular grade of soil is needed on the project, or elsewhere. 3. Space for the construction of surge dams for the temporary management of storm water until the permanent viaducts, bridges, and culverts are functioning. 4. Space for laydown areas, amenities, workshops, offices, and parking.
