    I'm still watching the video but felt I needed to stop to post a comment. These really are brilliant videos and I love the way that you always explain, with the use of a map, where we are and what we're looking at. Most other people who post HS2 videos merely show a video with loud music and you have no idea where the drone is, what you're seeing and even which direction you're travelling. Your videos are in a class of their own. Thanks for all your hard work in putting them together - I could watch them all day!🍻

    Just a few observations to make, I was listening to a podcast where they interviewed the former chairman of Network rail and HS2, Sir David Higgins. He commented that the major issues that have spiraled the costs of phase 1 has been the following. 1. Unnecessary over specification of infrastructure requirements, 2. Far too many tunnels even in the London section, 3. Political meddling by politicians to appease certain constituencies, and micro management from the department of transport, constantly moving the goal posts of the brief. Additionally, higher than above inflation rates on a yearly basis has not helped. As someone that comes from a construction background, point 2 and 3 are the main culprits of the fiasco. When you compare it to other countries where high speed rail links are common such as Spain, France and Italy, the specifications are far more modest in comparison but just as good without breaking the bank, I can vouch for it.

    I understand that 1,500 construction workers are on this site.

    Could Green Hydrogen be the train locomotive fuel of the future...? (A few solar panels/sodium-iron batteries and rainwater are all that's needed.)

      You are kidding, every video shows massive change, if you know where to look and what to look for.

    Am I mistaken but this is London England not America if so we call them lifts

      You are not mistaken, I live outside of the UK and our local language calls them elevators, so my apologies

      Elevator is perfectly acceptable, given an international audience watches these videos

      Why does it even matter, we all knew what he was referring to.

      The Urban Outsider is something of a revelator, if it's over your head get your arse on the elevator.

    See how the soil is being taken away by conveyor, how is all that sand and aggregate for concrete being delivered?.

    Taking ages doing this, I bet every worker is on at least £25 per hour for playing on there phone. Costing a bloody fortune on something 90% of the population will never use.

      I’m guessing 99%

      How do you know it's taking a long time when you don't have anything to benchmark it's progress against ?
