Big jobs boost for West Midlands as Mayor Andy Street welcomes new HS2 station construction contract

[@Rail_Focus]

Wonder if Truss can be convinced to build HS2 in full and reverse the IRP.

[@MikeWillSee]

Most likely not but we can hope

[@alrichmond4341]

Everything is free, so why wouldn't she?

[@Alto53]

For those who would like the project to be built in full, the best you can hope for is for the Eastern Leg to be put on hold with the route safeguarded.

[@mitsuyamaeda-railfan]

Great Britain's progress. I would like you to participate in the monorail business.

[@ozymandias5513]

Will it just be called Interchange station? :/

[@iwasborn8470]

No, i don’t think so. Most likely West Midlands Station or Birmingham Interchange.

[@peterwilliamallen1063]

It is being called " Birmingham Interchange Station" as it is next to Birmingham International Station and Birmingham Airport

[@firsttankcrews]

HS2 is not a nationwide system:- please amend the script

[@raymondflanagan9355]

I wouldn't take Liz Truss's word on face value.

[@DavidKnowles0]

The Birmingham to Old Oak Common will be completed because virtually all of that route has construction started on it. The question is will they continue to chopped other parts of HS2 off. Truss will need to implement some brutal cuts to fund her tax cuts for the rich somewhere and to fund 100 billion to bail out her mates in the energy industry. The new Transport secretary is also a pro road, climate change denier.

[@peterwilliamallen1063]

@@DavidKnowles0 It is being completed right into London Euston, the tunnels, track and Euston Station rebuild are happening at this moment, no way will trains finish at Old Oak Common as if they did it defeats the object of a high speed line from Birmingham to London.

@@peterwilliamallen1063 Euston Station rebuilding work has been put on hold by the Government as of May 2023 and HS2 workers move to others sites.

What about the East Midlands

[@peterwilliamallen1063]

So what about the East Midlands!! If HS2 was being built via Derby and Leicester and the East Midlands, would you be worried about Birmingham and the West Midlands, I doubt it

[@peterwilliamallen1063]

What about it, this is just to do with HS2 nothing to do with the East Midlands.

Another cheap labour project job boost my 🐴

[@hanshartfiel6394]

Why do they all wear gloves and safety goggles? Not one of them is going to do some proper work on the building sie.

[@peterwilliamallen1063]

It is the rule of going on a building site under health and safety rules.

With the right investment choi noce that has at least a minimum risk of 2% and with expert advice, both profits and interest are 100% guaranteed.

I needed to know why don’t they dig a tunnel and do an extension for the main line Train so they extend the new abandoned underground stations. Why couldn’t they use the part D78 Stock train doors on the sides and also restructure the front face of the A60 and A62 stock that includes the class 313, class 314 and class 315 remix and make them all together and also redesign them an overhead line and also make them into six cars per units and also having three Accessible Toilets on that six cars per units A60 and A62 stock trains and also convert the A60 and A62 stock trains into a Scania N112, Volvo TD102KF, Volvo B10M, Gardner 6LXC, and Gardner 8LXB Diesel Engines and also put the Loud 7-Speed Voith Gearboxes even Loud 8-Speed Leyland Hydra cyclic Gearboxes in the A60 and A62 stock, class 313, class 314, and class 315 and also modernise the A60 and A62 stock and make it into an 11 car per unit so it could have fewer doors, more tables, computers and mobile phone chargers? A Stock Train and also having 8 Disabled Toilets 🚽 on those A stock trains. why couldn’t we refurbish and modernise the waterloo and city line Triple-Track train tunnel and make it bigger and extend it to bank station, making it into a Triple-Track Railway Line so those 4 European countries such as Germany, Italy, Poland And Sweden to convert the waterloo and city line Triple-Track Train tunnel into a High-Speed train? The Third Euro tunnel Triple-Track Train line to make it 11 times better for passengers so they could go from A to B. then put the modernised 11 car per unit A Stock and put them on a bigger modernised waterloo and city line Triple-Track train tunnel so it could go to bank station to those 4 European countries such as Germany, Italy, Poland And Sweden. The modernised refurbished 11 cars per unit A stock could be a High Speed The Third Triple-Track Euro Tunnel Train So it is promising and 37 times a lot more possible to do this kind of project that is OK for London Germany, Italy, Poland And Sweden. Oh by the way, could they also tunnel the Triple-Track Railway Line so it will stop from Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire and Essex so that the Passengers will go to Germany, Italy, Poland and Sweden and also extend the Triple-Track Railway Line from Bank to Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire and Essex Stations so that more people from there could go to Germany, Italy, Poland And Sweden Easily. Why couldn't they extend the Piccadilly line and also build a brand-new underground train station so it could go even further right up to Clapton, Wood Street and also make another brand new tunnel train station in Chingford and could they extend the DLR? All of the classes 150, 155, 154, 117, 114, 105, and 106, will be replaced by all of the Scania N112, Volvo TD102KF, Volvo B10M, Gardner 6LXB, Gardner 6LXC and Gardner 8LXB Diesel Six carriages three accessible toilets are air conditioning trains including Highams Park for extended roots which is the Piccadilly line and the DLR trains. Could you also convert all of the 1973 stock trains into an air-conditioned maximum speed 78 km/hours (48 MPH) re-refurbished and make it into a 8 cars per unit if that will be alright, and also extend all of the Piccadilly train stations to create more space for all of the extended 8 car per unit 1973 stock air condition trains and can you also build another Mayflower and Tornado Steam Locomotive Companies and they can order Every 17 Octagon and Hexagon shape LNER diagram unique minor no.13 and unique small no.11 Boilers from those Countries such as Greece, Italy, Poland, and Sweden, can they make Mayflower and Tornado Steam Locomotive speeds by up to 117MPH so you can try and test it on the Original Mainline so it will be much more safer for the Passengers to enjoy the 117MPH speed Limit only for HS2 and Channel Tunnel mainline services, if they needed 16 Carriages Per units can they use those class 55’s, class 44’s, class 40’s and class 43HST Diesel Locomotive’s right at the Back of those 16 Carriages Per Units so they can take over at the Back to let those Mayflower and Tornado Steam Locomotive’s have a rest for those fascinating Journeys Please!!! oh, can you make all of those Coal Boxes’ 16 Tonnes for all of the 117MPH Mayflower and Tornado Steam Locomotive’s so the Companies will Understand us, passengers!! so please make sure that the Builders can do as they are Told!! And please do something about these very important Professional ideas Please Prime Minister of England, Prime Minister of Sweden, Prime Minister of Germany, Prime Minister of Italy, Prime Minister of Poland and that Includes the Mayor of London.
