The start of construction work for the hs2 Maintenance complex has been pushed back into 2025 _ 3 contractors bid on the contract _ Vinci/Keltbray & VolkerFitzpatrick and Gulernak _ since then Gulermak have withdrawn from the tender process leaving the other 2 _ the Maintenance depot runs parallel to the Bromford tunnel portal _ it's still just that large flat area _ the building you see being built is part of the other use for the site _ warehouse & logistics _ some good views of the Bromford tunnel portal & retained cut leading up to Aston Church Rd _ looking forward to seeing the next chapter 👍
@RitaFarrow Hi Rita, thanks for watching! Regarding the length, it's 3.5 miles between Water Orton and Bromford. Maryanne is the first TBM that will break through later this year, and Elizabeth will follow afterwards. Exciting times ahead
Thanks!

The slope at the end will be dug out so it’s flat 😉
Does anyone know what they are building in all that massive open space next to the tunnel?
@Marcus-ut3hj If you look on the thumbnail graphic top right, it looks like the main building of the washwood heath depot will be there.
Even if the HS2 travels at the same speed as Eurotunnel that’s 243kmh or 125mph
225mph are the top speeds mate.
