High Speed Rail? Completion Timeline ‘derailed’. 2020 not possible.
To many who were waiting to buy along the High Speed Rail, you may need to wait even longer. Instead of 2020, it may be up to 2023 before the High Speed Rail is ready. This is despite the fact that the HSR is already using as much as government land as possible to avoid…
