GFB’s transport correspondent Dan Dan-The-Trailer-Man has been granted exclusive access to the proposed revised route for the controversial £50 Billion HS2 train line which aims to reduce project costs by half .
The New Route For HS2
When Dan Dan-The-Trailer-Man pointed out that the new route was little more than a spoof Buried Treasure Map, HS2′s Chairman Lord Knows, replied, “It may well be but at least it is a much cheaper route than the £50 Billion we propose to spunk on the current route oop north and it if we find the buried treasure we will be quids in! Har Har Jim Lad! All aboard!”
Serious consideration is also being given to build HS2 in a middle aged train enthusiast’s back garden (as the attached video reveals. Go to 3.35 for a guide to passenger comfort).
Lord Knows told us, “Building the HS2 in a back garden makes sound commercial sense and reduces project costs to a measly £38 Billion. There are problems around the shed and patio and we may have to tunnel under the compost bin, but at least we are forging ahead. Woo Woo!”
