Quote from The Sun: Controverial high-speed rail network HS2 is facing fresh problems as predicted costs sky-rocket.
New forecasts for the rail project said it could cost £18bn more than it was expected to last year.
A leaked report into the spiralling costs and delayed timeline to build HS2, forecast the project could cost as much as £106bn, according to the Financial Times
The original forecast for the project was £34bn.
Last year, it was projected to cost around £88bn.

A complete waste of money now and who's to say that the costs won't keep escalating?
The money should be spent on more modest infrastructure projects that would be of immediate benefit to the North like trans-Pennine improvements.
