Primrose Hill's most fragrant celebrities could be about to tangle with the Government about plans for the new high speed rail tunnel. The tunnel, taking trains from Euston to Birmingham and then on to Scotland, at speeds of up to 250mph, will escape London via Camden, Primrose Hill, Swiss Cottage and Maida Vale. According to this, the trains will travel beneath Primrose Hill at a depth not that much greater than some Tube lines. But instead of traveling at an average speed of 20mph, they could pass beneath Primrose Hill at 111mph. Nobody wants Primrose Hill to fall down, but the big question is surely... where are all the structural problems following the line out of East London through Kent?
