Britain’s new HS2 line is delayed AGAIN – but trains WILL go to Euston

BRITAIN’S new high speed rail network WILL be delayed, ministers finally admitted today, but trains will eventually go to London.

Just weeks after The Sun blew the lid on HS2 chaos, they revealed it would be kicked back another two years thanks to soaring costs.

The high speed rail line has been kicked back again

Construction of the super speedy line – which will go from London up to Crewe via Birmingham – will be delayed by another two years, Transport Secretary Mark Harper said.

He blamed “significant inflationary pressure and increased project costs” for the delay.

Chancellor Jeremy Hunt announced a review of the pricy scheme last year when he got into No11.

Anything “low value or low performing” faces huge cut backs.

The Sun revealed last month chaos at the heart of the multi-billion pound project, which has already been beset by spiralling costs.

Ministers were even weighing up whether the line would go directly into central London at all as they mulled a five year delay.

Today ministers promised that it would – but it isn’t set to open for another 12 years until 2035.
