"An energy shortage on the West Coast Main Line (WCML) has forced an "all- electric" budget rail operator to run diesel trains on a Scotland to London service. Independent The first of the tunnel boring machines that will dig HS2's last two tunnels is due to set off on its journey to Euston station next week. IanVisits Euston Station delivery teams have been given the go-ahead to transport construction spoil from the site by rail instead of road in future, it has been confirmed."
"HS2 says that construction of its longest tunnel, running from the edge of London under the Chilterns, has been completed, nearly 5 years after work began. ianVisits HS2 has exceeded its target of creating 2,000 apprenticeships on the high-speed rail project.

Sidmouth Herald Avanti West Coast has made a new bid to bring back an extra weekday London train service for Blackpool after a series of cuts."
New trains are being tested on the Piccadilly line. An energy shortage on the West Coast Main Line forced an all-electric budget operator to run diesel trains on a Scotland–London service. Tunnel boring machines for HS2 are en route to Euston and HS2 reports completion of its longest tunnel under the Chilterns. Euston teams received approval to transport construction spoil by rail. Major weekend engineering works halted London–Peterborough services and theft of signalling cables caused significant disruption. Eurotunnel began rollout of a new signalling system. Apprenticeship targets were exceeded, many station retailers are now independent, and Avanti West Coast has bid to restore an extra London–Blackpool service. Some station lift upgrades were approved while others missed out, and an architect was appointed to design nearby housing redevelopment.
