Chiltern Society HS2 Photo Diary

The construction of the HS2 high speed railway line will have a major impact on the Central Chilterns. Chiltern Society member Keith Hoffmeister has been taking photographs at a number of locations since plans were first announced in 2010. The photos cover the phase before construction as well as early Enabling Works.

Keith has been joined in this work by fellow members Jim Conboy, Bob Smith and Neil Lynch and cover the construction phase through to completion, when trains will start to run anytime between 2028 and 2031.
