Welcome to The B1M

Inside the £102BN plan to get Britain's HS2 back on-track

Britain’s new high-speed rail line, HS2, was supposed to connect four of the country's biggest cities with trains that would have been the fastest in the world. But the route has now been cut to less than half of its original length, while its budget has tripled and its trains will now run slower than planned.

It's why the megaproject has just been through a complete reset under a new management team that seems to be making real progress. Four years after first covering HS2, The B1M’s Fred Mills went back on site to see whether this rescue plan can finally turn it around.
