UK Power Networks and Barhale have partnered to construct a micro-tunnel beneath the Grand Union Canal in West London, facilitating the delivery of 45MVA electricity supply for HS2

Once operational, all HS2 trains will run on zero-carbon energy

The project is looking to become net zero by 2035

Protesters staying in the tunnel spoke to ELN about their intentions

The protesters have worked around the clock in shifts of up to 12 people at a time to dig the tunnel

The station will maximise daylight and natural ventilation, will use a system to capture and reuse rainwater and will feature 222 EV charging points

The move gives companies involved formal approval to begin construction

A new report published by the Wildlife Trusts claims the planned high-speed rail line connecting London and northern England will ‘push nature closer to the brink’

The review is expected to provide its view on the carbon reductions that can be achieved

Engineers say air source heat pumps could be used to draw warm air from the railway’s tunnels and direct it into households
