One industry insider labelled the process of handing out contracts for HS2 a 'farce'
Sunak's Network North rail plan to replace HS2 explained - and how it could cut journey timesOctober 4, 2023 2:23 pm
According to details published on the Government’s website last Thursday, HS2 Limited, which is funded and sponsored by the Department for Transport, awarded the contract to nine different suppliers. Mr Reisner said: “[The fallout] will be interesting, you can’t march people to the top of the hill and do nothing. There will need to be some form of recompense.”“It’s inevitable jobs cuts will come, it’s difficult to see there’s anything you could readily transfer people across to.”
The Prime Minister confirmed in his speech that the HS2 line between Birmingham and London would run to Euston rather than Old Oak Common in the capital’s western surburbs, which could see work resume.that numerous firms had faced difficulties already due to delays and backtracking and that it would only get worse following Mr Sunak’s announcement.
