Source: EasternEye
Britain's HS2 high-speed rail project aimed to build one of the world's fastest railways with original track designs for speeds of 360km/h. The project has faced significant cost overruns due to design choices and political pressures, with costs soaring from an initial estimate of £32.7 billion in 2011 to a potential £100 billion.

Description
Description | Britain's HS2 high-speed rail project aimed to build one of the world's fastest railways with original track designs for speeds of 360km/h. The project has faced significant cost overruns due to design choices and political pressures, with costs soaring from an initial estimate of £32.7 billion in 2011 to a potential £100 billion. The project now plans to reduce speed limits to 320km/h to cut costs, and the first trains between London and Birmingham are expected no earlier than 2035. The project scope has been reduced, with only the Birmingham section using new tracks and HS2 trains continuing on existing infrastructure beyond that. |
