flag UK's HS2 rail project faces severe criticism for mismanagement, with costs soaring up to £80bn.

flag The UK's HS2 high-speed rail project is facing severe criticism from the Commons Public Accounts Committee (PAC), which calls it a "casebook example of how not to run a major project." flag The report accuses the Department for Transport (DfT) and HS2 Ltd of failing to work effectively together, leading to significant cost overruns and uncertainties about the project's completion. flag The latest cost estimates range from £54bn to £66bn, with potential inflation adjustments pushing this to nearly £80bn. flag The PAC recommends a reset of the project to regain control and improve value for taxpayers.
