00:00The work on the tunnel connecting Old Oak Common to Euston Station is expected to start in 2026
00:12and take around 18 months with the two tunnel boring machines operating 24 hours a day.
00:20The government announced in the budget last year that it would be committing the funding
00:27required to begin the tunneling work and two new tunnel boring machines which will build a pair of 4.5 mile tunnels from Old Oak Common to Euston were revealed in December.
00:43It's a big update regarding a stretch of the HS2 line which until fairly recently was drenched in uncertainty.
00:53There were credible fears the high speed line linking London to Birmingham would terminate as Old Oak Common,
01:02which is of course around six miles away from central London.
01:07The entire project has highlighted serious flaws in developing and building infrastructure in the UK.
01:15The first phase was initially scheduled to open by the end of next year.
01:21This was later pushed back to between 2029 and 2033.
01:27In 2013 HS2 was estimated to cost £37.5 billion for the entire plan network.
01:33In June of last year HS2 Limited assessed the cost for the line between London and Birmingham would cost up to £66 billion.
01:42It was a big thing.
01:48This was the first thing I would say to be able to manage I think the persones.

01:54The whole thing I might imagine is that people in my life are getting used to,
01:56doнее.
01:58I think it's a real thing I'm going to do.
02:00I don't see where they were getting used to.
02:01It's a real time, because I think it's all the time and for the time and it's just about
02:04what's going on.
02:06It's just about 10 pounds.
02:07I don't see where they gotuaști.
02:08I think it's about 15 pounds.
02:09Yep.
02:10Ups.
