TaxPayers’ Alliance responds to HS2 costs soaring to over £66 billion

Responding to figures confirmed by the HS2 executive chairman of HS2 costs soaring to over £66 billion, Joanna Marchong, investigations campaign manager of the TaxPayers' Alliance, said:

“The continued soaring costs of HS2 are a slap in the face for taxpayers.

“Even with the termination of extensions, this project continues to look like a financial trainwreck. 

“If HS2 is to go ahead at all, ministers must finally get spending on track.”
