#HS2 wasn’t justified when it was given the go-ahead last year & it’s even less justified now
This is not what a greener future looks like - it’s a destructive vanity project that needs to be stopped before even more damage is done @stophs2#stophs2

The 'HS2 Speak' at https://t.co/AE77OP4ZNW makes my heart sink. 'Compensatory measures' re: habitat? Tell it to the toads, the owls, the #badgers, the hares, the #bats. Habitat doesn't get 'lost' - it gets forcibly taken. #StopHS2@AnimalsCount@mcahs2
Time to consign the vastly overpriced High Speed 2 to the history books.
If we want to connect to somewhere / anywhere at super speeds we can do it by Zoom without incurring that astronomical cost.

@julialagoutte@AnothervoiceWB @Spinwatch @ObserverUK And as @belebenso pointed out "Westbourne’s Biz4HS2 Campaign was behind the creation of an ‘All-Party Parliamentary Group for High Speed Rail’, whose press contact was Lucy James." https://t.co/luiC0UtcTi
Every time the HS2 costs rise they play dumb. These are things they were warned about, but chose to ignore
Didn't do their homework and don't listen to feedback.
Expect more of this.

Does this look like the impact of a normal railway line?
Imagine 100s of miles of this, through 1000s of homes, disturbing over a hundred ancient woodlands. Sterilising wildlife habitats.
Just to get to London faster IN THE DIGITAL AGE!
#HS2 monsterous vanity project
Here’s a game of spot the difference. 1) @dailymail ‘s pic of me & my dad 2) the actual picture. Socially distant, no physical contact & was bringing them food. Been a long month of no contact, my mum worked for the NHS her whole career so she was ruthless about distance. Thanks
Surprisingly "on time" train stats include those running 5 or even 10 minutes LATE! 🚆🙄 So, from today newly published figures will focus on trains that are actually on-time, by which I mean, to the MINUTE!
