Off The Rails: The first major account of HS2 – and how it went so wrong – Sally Gimson

13 November 2025 @ 7:15 pm - 9:00 pm

‘High-Speed 2’ was to be the crown jewel of British Rail. The first Intercity railway built north of London in over a century. Dogged by mismanagement, overspending and incompetence, HS2 has collapsed. Sally Gimson met with the politicians, engineers and ordinary people affected by the failure of HS2. ‘Off the Rails: The Inside Story of HS2’ provides a forensic examination of how a vital social project imploded.

Come and hear Sally tell us all about it.
