About this Event

Join us for an enthralling evening with Sally Gimson, for her book Off the Rails, the first major account of HS2 – and how it went so wrong . . . a topic of great and personal interest to everyone in our neighbourhood.
Sally Gimson meets with the politicians, engineers and ordinary people affected by the failure of HS2. Travelling from demolished council estates in Camden to ghost towns along the now cancelled Northern branch, Off the Rails provides a forensic examination of how a vital social project imploded.
