Fascinating film. Completed in 10 months including bridges, cuttings, embankments, farm accesses; and how long will HS2 take!!!

Most enjoyable - I thought the music went well with the film/naration.

I found it a bit sad that the line took a lot of effort to construct and is now slowly returning back to nature.

In some ways Brian it is surprising the track is still there.
