Opening of HS2 line set to be delayed beyond 2033

The UK government is expected to announce yet another delay for the HS2 high-speed rail line, pushing its opening beyond 2033—far later than originally planned. The BBC reports this will be confirmed in an upcoming review, adding to years of setbacks and rising costs for the controversial infrastructure project.
Editor’s Note: HS2 was supposed to be a game-changer for UK transport, linking major cities and boosting economic growth. But constant delays and budget blowouts have turned it into a symbol of mismanagement. For commuters and businesses counting on faster connections, this is another frustrating setback—and taxpayers might wonder if the project will ever deliver on its promises.
