For clarity, as an opponent of HS2, my point was less the poor quality of the viaduct; it was that the Council are deluded if they think they’ll get “quality mitigation” on the route into Leeds from their HS2 friends judging by cost cutting already happening @hs2sowhat
@Carmel_Harrison @stophs2 @FinancialTimes @GoltonStewart @OpinionYP @hs2sowhat £89bn would replace every hospital in the NHS with a brand spanking new one and still leave enough to build £400 new schools. #StopHS2
@Carmel_Harrison @stophs2 @FinancialTimes @GoltonStewart @OpinionYP @hs2sowhat Politicians who supported this awful project need to be held to account! In 2013 anyone who read their documents or deal with #HS2 knew the project was deeply flawed! @BarrySheerman @CherylGillan read the documents and easily reached that conclusion! There is no excuse!
@stuartbruce @HS2ltd @hs2sowhat We get massive disruption to local towns and villages from construction traffic. Closures and diversions. TWENTY construction compounds. A mega 24hr train cleaning depot in the greenbelt. Local outstanding primary school under threat. #HS2 apologists wake up to the damage!
What about the towns that are disadvantaged by HS2? Does nobody care about us? In Rothwell they smash through our villages, clog our roads, close our station and destroy our countryside. What do we get? Absolutely nothing but pain and utter contempt from @HS2ltd Back @hs2sowhat

.@BBCLookNorth in Yorkshire are reporting on the route changes this evening - tune in if you’re in the area. @stophs2 @Carmel_Harrison @AlecShelbrooke
Misleading article. - Of course fares will not go down - Excludes high running costs & the impact of HS2’s massive energy needs - On capacity, doesn’t mention decline in freight & only considers commuter trains on main lines served by HS2 - Trains on E/W main lines are not full

Don't be fooled. This is worse than the previous plan. It increases the visual impact on residents without reducing the #environmental impact during #construction. @GoltonStewart @hs2sowhat @stophs2 @stophs2bramley

It also resulted on increasing costs and the eventual collapse of the HS2 budget.
@DannyJBrierley @HS2ltd No it's least popular in the North, see Comres and Yougov polls. London wants it most.
@stuartbruce @joncstone @HS2ltd @hs2sowhat The HS2 engineers just didn't know how long it would be. They told us anything between two weeks and two years. Their new plan for an 8km viaduct all the way into Leeds may improve things for Woodlesford station but decimates rothwell country park and Hunslet.
Hs2 have revealed new plans for Leeds. They are worse than before, pander to Leeds city council and business and ignore residents concerns. Worse, the new plans save some money showing this is going ahead on the cheap.

#HS2 is most certainly not beyond cancellation. Tellingly, procurement of tunnel boring machines, (have an 18 month lead time) has been put on hold & the stop/go for whole project has been delayed YET again until Dec at earliest. Loathed at Treasury and named Horse Sh*t 2 at DfT.

@Andrew_Adonis Maybe in your little "I love a train set fantasy land" but as it's not even got final Notice to proceed on phase 1 then actually you are wrong. It can be cancelled and it should be cancelled. @NickHurdUK #StopHS2 #SaveColneValley #Ickenhamisangry
