Description
Out in the Chilterns a 16Km tunnel and 3Km bridge are being built as part of the construction of the HS2 line. We were invited to the site near West Hyde in the Colne Valley to see the construction works and tunnel boring machines up close along with many many concrete tunnel segments!

Here's a complete routemap of where HS2 is being built: https://www.hs2.org.uk/where/route-map/#7/52.453/-1.488
