HS2 Proposed Project
Below is a poster that is present in one of the hides explaining how this so called green project will impact on our countryside. Part of the proposed route will pass through the Broadwater Lake Reserve as it heads north through London, Herts and Bucks towards Birmingham. Apparently high speed trains traveling over 200mph will pass by every 15 minutes.
