Times Online - A tunnel to be built on the HS2 railway line through a small forest in Buckinghamshire will cost mp;pound;100 million, according to the chairman of HS2, Sir Jon Thompson. This structure is not intended to alleviate the aural misery of the Tory voters who live in Chilterns villages where haste and modernity are not necessarily considered virtues, nor for the other local humans, who believe that having a high-speed railway line running through their Mexican granite-tiled kitchen extensions might lower the value of their properties.
