Article thumbnail: BIRMINGHAM, ENGLAND - JANUARY 11: Hoardings surround the site of the Birmingham High Speed Rail 2 station construction site at Curzon Street on January 11, 2024 in Birmingham, England. After Prime Minister Rishi Sunak scrapped plans to extend HS2 beyond Birmingham in October 2023, the Department for Transport (DfT) released a Network North document, emphasising that Phase 1's cost should range between ??45 billion and ??54 billion. This has allegedly been complicated by construction inflation over the past three years. (Photo by Christopher Furlong/Getty Images)
