CRCC will work with UK government 'if necessary'

 

Quote

A Chinese firm that is one of the world’s largest contractors has offered to save the government “tens of billions” of pounds by taking on the HS2 project and building it within five years, Building understands. The firm, part of China Railway Construction Corporation, has raised the prospect of the line reaching speeds of up to 420km/h, versus the maximum 340km/h currently envisaged, increased passenger capacity as well as delivering the scheme closer to its current £56bn budget.

Also UK scheme estimate for finishing hs2 is 2040 ( will most likely over run by yrs) chinese reckon all done by 2025.
