It is a scandal that no major project can be accomplished in the UK within a reasonable budget. But that’s the UK…
Politicians who don’t have the ability or incentive (given the money they’ve been raking in over the last 14 years from wealthy cronies) to make laws that enable efficient construction or, because they’re too arrogant to listen to experts and only have useless Boris-type degree, hire the right companies to do the work.
Regardless, we need functioning infrastructure. It is simply not going to work to leave the Euston leg unbuilt. It has to be built.
Why the northerners aren’t out burning things at this point over the state of their public transportation, I do not know.

I feel like the cost is almost irrelevant for large infrastructure projects like this. The social and economic benefit will last for well over 100 years

To be fair they could save money by powering the first leg of the journey purely using the nervous tension from people at Euston waiting for the platform for the Manchester Piccadilly train to be announced

Hi

Without it going into Euston the whole thing is cocking useless. Yes it’s expensive, but it’s still the right thing to do.

Just hope it’s the 10/11 platform station and not the absolutely fucking mornic *insert more words here* stupid idea of 6 platforms.

Just build the whole thing as originally planned.
Seriously, this is exactly what I want to see taxes spent on.
