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

Very kind I’ve also subscribed…some lovely stuff on your channel. (That poor tree!!) makes me boil!!

@Bigladderphotographer Thank you my friend. Yes, it was a wicked act against nature 🥺😡🤬

@@ladyintheskyuk seems it was in revenge for something but no-one knows what.

HS2 is not ending in Birmingham, the line is carrying on to Lichfield where the HS2 line will connect onto the WCML

@@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 😉

Latest news is it’s going to Euston but with private funding. (Which is being sought)

You will believe anything. Part of it was going to Leeds@@Bigladderphotographer

@@johngallacher8847I believe probably less than you 👍🏼

Old Oak Common links it with the Elizabeth line and London overground I believe
