HS2 trying to minimise disruption to people in Warwickshire

The man in charge of building the high speed rail line through Warwickshire says minimising the impact on people living along the route is crucial to the whole project. They've just completed their first tunnel under Long Itchington Wood - it's taken 8 months to bore the tunnel. It's one of 64 which will have to be built for the 200mph rail line to be completed. It's set to open in 2030 and cost 拢80 billion. The budget for it has been increased over the years and the completion date put back. But, based on it's latest target, CEO Mark Thurston told CWR Breakfast with Phil Upton that it'll be on time and on budget.
