If you have the time and the drone, one of these for the Selhurst Triangle at a peak hour would be amazing given the diversity of route options. Would love to see all the trains snaking around again :D
I was there yesterday. Totally over grown.spanish coaches rotting away. Steam engine in the shed rotting away. Kerry county council couldnt care less. National heritage destroyed by corruption and greed. Shame on you.. You have folk who can help restore some of it, but you use health and safty as deterrent. When you, kerry Co. Council lack common sense.
Interesting to see they are starting to roof in the box with precast beams at 14:28. Thanks for a great video, mid june I guess. There seems more action in the crossover box, supplying the TBMs, do they run 24/7?
was so i can bring large suitcases which i cannot l lift? (im not in a wheelchair but im limited mobility- injury to arms and hands and steep stairs are also hard or impossible for mw
Nine miles out, away from Euston & terminating in Brum. You could not make this up & if viable will probably be carbon neutral in about 700 years time. Hope the whole thing collapses in on itself if it hasn't already economically.
This video deserves an award. fantastic narration. The value this will be in the next couple decades after completion of this project will be unreal. 🏆
CAN SEE THE OCCASIONAL MACHINE, THE SITE LOOKS LIKE A GRAVE YARD, NO WONDER IT TOOK SO BLOODY LONG TO DO NOTHING. iN THE TIME AND MONEY THE CONTRACTORS HAVE HAD, CHINA BUILT 1200 MILES OF HS TRACK INCLUDING TUNNELS AND BRIDGES. I PERSONNALLY THINK THE CONTRACTORS AND THE GOVERNMENT HAVE BEEN TAKING THE PISS. YET ANOTHER SCAM. A COMPLETE EMBARRASSMENT FOR THE UK. THE ONLY COUNTRY NOT TO COMPLETE A HS TRACK! 3RD WORLD GOVERNMENT IS RIGHT ON. CORRUPT TO THE VERY CORE
The, Logistics tunnel isn't going to the crossover box. It goes to the other end of the site to deliver materials and remove spoil from the Euston tunnels. Work is about to begin on assembling those two TBM's they will then drive the first 200 yards of tunnels then be mothballed until the Government sees sense and let's them get on with the job. At the north western end, TBM Emily is about 250 metres into it's drive. That's construction of the southern or down tunnel. TBM Anne is getting ready to start it's run. That's the one that you can see the tail of in the crossover box.
Thanks for this video, the complexity of this area is just staggering! BTW The concrete plant at the crossover box is making shotcrete. A special type of fibre reinforced concrete that is sprayed onto tunnel walls of bare rock or soil to form the tunnel lining. you can see one of the TBMs being assembled in the crossover box for the drive north to the viaduct. So the tunnel between crossover and OOC station box is probably being dug manually and shotcreted
Great video; thanks for this. So is the blockade of Paddington happening because the GWML is being slewed north adjacent to (or is it over?) HS2? Do you know how long this will mean Pad. is closed? How will they fit all those trains into Euston? Will the Elizabeth Line still run past this area and to the lower level station?
As far as I know the plan is to build and lay tracks to the first 6 platforms in the new main line station then to close the line for 2 or 3 weeks to allow the main lines to be connected to run through the station. The remaining two platforms will then be constructed.
The CCP needs to take direct and complete control of this project as quickly as possible without any interference being permitted - Network Rail and all other U.K. rail bodies are no longer fit for purpose and immediate, groundbreaking, radical and innovative legislation must be passed in Parliament as quickly as possible to make this happen
Erm, you might want to look at their failed projects and construction quality instead of falling for the CCP propaganda. If you think the UK is bad just look up Tofu Dreg construction and the disasters it has caused on their infrastructure and even house. You will be glad that there is safety legislation in place in the uk. Oh, the railway is in a trillion dollars in debt.
check whats happening with the presently being renovated Limerick to Foynes railway which is being revamped and re-opened.Great vbideos via drone by Drone Hawk showing work being done and new line will look great!!
Brilliant video, very interesting and informative. Can I ask how you booked your ticket all the way through to Rosslare. Also, did you have sufficient to e between arriving into Rosslare and catching the no 40 bus as I plan to do this to get to Dungarvan which I think I have to change in Waterford. Many thanks, take care
Ticket is available on Transport for Wales website by putting in your origin, and then destination as Rosslare Eurosport (RSB) arriving at 17:30. You'd catch the 19:00 number 40 bus from Rosslare Europort to Waterford (but buy a through ticket to Dungarvan, it's cheaper!), changing for the 21:00 number 40 bus to Dungarvan.
Great drone footage. I definitely support the project and improvements in infrastructure, but why is it that so many grand UK projects have so many problems. Look at China. It just builds and builds. Ok they have more people, but they also have more land. The UK population density is surprisingly higher than China, because China, although very populated in the East, has vast empty deserts and mountains to the West. Maybe the UK should spend less money on weapons for Ukraine and much more money on it's homefront infrastructure. It's a question of correct priorities and getting all the self serving political corruption out of the way.
I'd of thought the reason is look at the size of china you could get the whole of the UK in one of their regions and then you wouldn't see it space is as valuable as money
