19 months, that is bonkers. no computers or smart phones no posh air conditioned plant. now it would take 24 months to do a Newt survey before the archaeologists go in. its all designed to take as long as possible so they can cream the fuck out of it.

Seems like some of the M1 is still under construction. Roadworks never end.

Makes today's workers and equipment seem a bit of a joke on HS2. Planning takes about four times that these days, thanks for the upload.

19 months to do 55 miles of brand new road? the size of the workforce must have been massive

@grahamvincent6977 Год назад

At one point, the commentary says "70 men per mile", which would make the workforce 3,850 strong.

@tepidtuna7450 Год назад

Thought the same. These days that would be 5 years. Progress is now Decline.

As well as the huge cost of these new M-ways, what about the long-term repair bill?

Too bad they can't build stuff on time and on budget any more. The good old days of competent people.
