Pity we won't be around in a 100yrs time to hear the comments then

@@jimrobinson6362 .. well, HS2 certainly won't "be around" in 100 years. Within a decade of opening (in about 50 years time given the current rate of progress), it'll be nothing more than a glorified cycle path 😉

Sadly had left microphone at home, trying to add more audio to the drone videos. Thanks for watching

The red support columns 1:35 have rollers on top. At the end of the bank there are some larger red mechanisms see 2:28 , probably strand jacks. Other YT videos show the jacking in action

Having approached HS2 for another video, they refuse consent on health and safety grounds. No idea how others get permission.

Although HS2 trains will be "capable" of travelling at 225mph, the reality is that top speeds will never be achieved on what's left of this monstrous vanity project - basically a shuttle service between west London & Birmingham. Wthin a decade of opening, (in about 50 years time given the current rate of progress), these horrendous concrete monstrosities (viaducts), will become nothing more than glorified cycle paths. HS2 is an environmental disaster of epic proportions & Britain's biggest infrastructure mistake in half a century.

@@CRIMSONANT1 you remind me of those Japanese soldiers still fighting WW2 in the 60s not realising the battle was over

​@@yindee372.. the HS2 "battle" was over long ago. What was billed as a ground breaking, "high speed" railway linking the South with the North & beyond has now been reduced to nothing more than a shuttle service between London & Birmingham. Golborne link - scrapped. Eastern Leg - scrapped. Northern leg - scrapped. This monstrous vanity project has been a disaster since day one & continues to be so.

Great video. Amazing that the whole viaduct is being pushed along in sections to avoid construction along its full length. Also shows how narrow the footprint of HS2, when completed, is going to be.

@@CRIMSONANT1 The only mistake is listening to the codswallop. How many miles of new ROAD construction using HS2 funding has been committed by Harper since cancellation entrenching the primacy of road. Pat yourself on the back you darn fool.

That is going to take a very long time to sort out. And financing is not even approved yet either. The next government may cancel it altogether.

Although, a shame that passengers won't get to see anything out their windows!

Change the CD fellah as its getting rathe boring now. You peddle the same old copy / pasted nonsence on every HS2 video and yet you never offer any solid facts or argument. Just emotional claptrap. But I bet you were never concerned when the M40 and other motorways were carving out routes on the countryside.

@@1chish .. "cd"? .. "fellah"? .. haha, talk about living in the past 😉 Yet another HS2 fanboy who can't come to terms with the truth. Most of your beloved project has been scrapped & what's left is nothing more than a shuttle route between west London & Birmingham that only the elite will use. And don't forget the blatant corruption within HS2 Ltd that's recently been exposed. Senior executives shredded documents & used misleading projections to ensure billions kept flowing into the project. Employees claim they were told by bosses to lie about the project’s cost & were sacked after speaking out. They say the government wasn't informed of the real cost of HS2 for years, all while voting on laws that approved its construction. It's nothing more than a monstrous white elephant that 85% of the public are against. HS2 Ltd state that to "break even" with a subsidy of 50/60% , they require 600,000 passengers travelling between London & Birmingham DAILY. Given that passenger numbers on that route have been declining by 4% per year for the last decade & now stand at an average of 96,000 per day, perhaps you'd care to explain where the extra 504,000 are going to materialise from? The public have been lied to from day one of this disastrous project & the sooner it's consigned to the history books, the better

They are not going to leave it like that. It's what they call landscaping. Think about it CRIMSONANTI

Is that you again, Lord Adonis?

@@DaveFiggley Lord Adonis & other high-ranking politicians like him promised us a world-class railway but have left us with a world class hole in the ground - the size of Trafalgar Square - at Euston, that's likely to be left for developers to squabble over. What's left of this disastrous vanity project is nothing more than a shuttle service between west London & Birmingham. HS2 has been an appalling misuse of public funds & yet the Conservatives continue to pass it off as essential for modern Britain. Having a faster railway with more capacity, doesn’t prepare us for the future, it just delivers the present, but 40 years too late 😉

We had a great lunch at the Old Dresser Cafe if you've not tried it. Most of the videos are filmed followed by food :)

Whats this got to do with HS2, your so called wandering Northerners already come into London on 4 routes , the Chiltern line from Birmingham to London Marylebone, the WCML from Birmingham and the North into London Euston, the Midland Mainline from Derbyshire into London St Pancras International and From Yorkshire on the ECML into London Kings Cross, so what is so different about HS2.

@@peterwilliamallen1063It won’t be carrying freight.

@@davecooper3238 Yes I know that, never said it would carry freight. HS2 will be a one operator railway line trin services will be operated by Avanti West Coast Railways and their partner Trenitalia trains of Italy

@@peterwilliamallen1063 You asked what is the difference about HS2. Main answer it won’t be hauling freight.

@@davecooper3238 You did not read my comment correctly, I answered to Ishaq-qj3bv rambling on about the "Bakerloo line extension to Lewisham and Hayes is opening in 2030 Transport for London and the Mayor of London what Do you think about it Wandering Northerners" so my answer was " Whats it got to do with HS2 and Wandering Northerners" and listed the relevant routes that Northerners already use to get to London before HS2 is opened. So no I did not ask what is the difference with HS2 I said that wandering Northerners as he calls them already come into London with out HS2 and as in my previouse answer to you I know HS2 will not carry freight trains it is purly a high speed passenger service from London Euston to Birmingham Curzon Street and to Handsacre in Staffordshire where HS2 services will join the existing WCML route taking these trains to Liverpool, Manchester and Scotland run by Avanti West Coast trains/Trenitalia

Yes it’s the stand with the dug outs is the new stand

How long do you think it takes to build such a station? One could suggest that the viaducts being built are actually part of the station as they form the throat of the station.

Station construction commences proper late this year, early next year

yes and across the street the 125 year old The Woodman pub....which remains partially open to pedestrians. Hopefully will survive the new HS2 workings. Excellent progress on the new HS2 terminus; maybe the Euston station gets more than 7 platforms ? Great UAV views here of the amazing HS2 architecture and structures.

Looks like there making the bridge on site then move it into place .. that will take some moving
