We could also have a pop at the complete white elephant that is HS2 and the proposed cost of £44bn. I bet many a Politician and their associates have lined their pockets out of that........
The real money will be made between the contractors and subcontractors and material suppliers. For example how much is it costing to use British made steel in the HS2 contracts. How do you balance maintaining a UK Iron and steel manufacturing presence with the extent of subsidy inevitably built into the HS2 contract to do so.
