"Hundreds of residents in a 'forgotten' part of London are demanding
ministers lengthen the high-speed rail tunnel through their community.
"When Transport Secretary Justine Greening approved plans for the £32
billion HS2 link this month, she announced a 2.7-mile tunnel through
Ruislip, in a concession to protesters who say their lives will be
blighted by noise and disruption.
"But their neighbours in
Perivale and Greenford say they still face the prospect of 225mph trains
thundering past their homes on the London-to-Birmingham route, as well
as years of building work before its completion in 2026."
