It’s like when Man Utd or City make a bid for a lower league player, you can add another zero to the price tag.

Government projects = government money = taking the piss.

If it was a private investment scheme there would be more accountability and it would come in closer to budget.

But you would never get private investment in HS2 because it would never return on its investment because it was never needed.
