The enormous amount of countryside being churned up by the M42 is actually mostly due to several new bypasses and a new junction of the M42, not due to hs2. Hs2 will have a tiny visual impact on the countryside, was less than a motorway does
Pretty ominous music for what is a marvel engineering project? Shame that middle england nimbys forced this thing undergound, adding billions to the budget
@@peterwilliamallen1063 At least that's some good news! HS2 at Lichfield has had massive amount of work done already!! It would be a real shame tor that work to go to waste!
@@IainHC1 They are at the moment construct the piers to mount the Delter Junction on at Water Orton just out side Coleshill which will allow trains from Birmingham Curzon Street to either go to London or Manchester and trains from London to Manchester to bypass Birmingham and travel to Lichfield where they will join the West Coast Mainline to Manchester and the North
@@IainHC1.. for HS2 fanboys, it's NOT "good news" at all. HS2 trains connecting to the WCML at Lichfield will NOT be high speed - there won't be ANY high speed services north of Birmingham which makes a mockery of the "HS" prefix! @peterwilliamallen is a known spreader of HS2 misinformation, I'd suggest you do your own research & disregard anything he says 😉
Most of this temporary scarring of the landscape will be returned to countryside in a few years and become natural looking again with just the twin rail tracks forming a narrow path through the surroundings. I love seeing how things are progressing. Nice well focused video, thanks.
I fully agree with everything you have just said!! The rail and canal networks have both been carving up the countryside for over 200 years now!! Just look at how they've both turned out today!!
Would’ve been possible without such a pointlessly wide swath of land being used though. Access roads. Soil filtering areas. So much ridiculous work to do something as simple as digging a graded trench in most areas. Health and safety and environmental legislation have got the better of us
Ban the festival until people start taking their rubbish with them or the promoters actually start caring about the land. It's all about the money as usual. Simple
The previous generations have destroyed the planet, still have control of everything and are doing very little to reverse that. I'm not saying the disgusting mess above is acceptable or excusable but one could just as easily read into it a massive apathy born from a feeling of helplessness at the road of destruction that we're barrelling down. The mess above is caused by the fossil fuel industry and being propped up by governments and the manufacturing industries endless lust for more and more profit - nearly all that mess is made of plastic, unnecessary plastic packaging, plastic bottles, the tents are so cheap people use them as disposable too. I grew up in the 1970s and people threw litter everywhere back then too - but there is a big difference between now and then - 1) There are a LOT more people 2) There are zero public information films educating people 3) There is now disposable plastic packaging - in the 70s this had barely begun - instead we had paper and foil packaging and glass bottles that you got a deposit back on for returning 4) Products like tents were not made so cheaply that one would throw them away after one weekend - it's not the people who have become worse it's the influence of the fossil fuel industry and the manufacturing industry on how we live our lives. The mess above is nothing to the planet compared to approving 100 new oil drilling licences that one person has just done - Sunak, a person that none of the public voted for. Your comment encourages us to blame each other rather then see the real cause of this disgusting mess - the profits of the fossil fuel industry and big business and the complicity of politicians.
The illegal teknival that was held in France in may 2023 gathered over 30k attendees and yet they managed to entirely clean the land they occupied. Shameful that most legal festivals can't get on this level.
Although its shocking the attendees leave the place such a shithole, they do over fill the fields and provide little means of getting rid of rubbish. I went 2000 trees this year and the place was immaculate, bins and recycling bins everywhere. I know its a smaller fewtival but was refreshing to see
