Tony, thus far all the construction activity has been and is enabling works. That is mostly related to relocating utilities (especially the major ones), site clearances and the establishment of the working compounds. Many of these have already in full or in part been mapped into OSM. As yet they haven’t mostly been fencing off the main line route. I expect we will see that happen soon for the over land sections. In London not much change will be visible beyond the current clearances and site compound set-ups. The shafts and portals for the main tunnels will be about the only obvious new work in the future outside of the station developments. The construction of the stations themselves is not yet confirmed.

I think if we can identify those areas then construction is now correct.

A question for the whole list. How do folks feel about changing the Phase 1 route from rail=proposed to rail=construction. Perhaps it’s a bit premature but then perhaps not.

Till now all works relating to HS2 have been enabling works or design related.
