A minister has pledged to “sort out” the “appalling mess” of HS2 and confirmed the railway’s opening will be further delayed.
Transport Secretary Heidi Alexander told the Commons there is “no route” to meet the target date of having HS2 services running by 2033.
The project has suffered repeated delays and soaring costs despite being scaled back.
ITV News speaks to rail expert Christian Wolmar about why this keeps happening.
