Why UK climate activists are locked in a dangerous self-dug tunnel under a London station
In a bid to halt a high-speed rail project, protesters are camped out in a precarious and cramped tunnel underneath Euston Station. But the UK government says the HS2 train line is vital to reach climate goals.
An anti-HS2 sign is seen at an Extinction Rebellion camp in January 2020. Members of the climate change activist group Extinction Rebellion joined efforts by HS2 campaigners to prevent woodland from being demolished
Beneath London s Euston Station, climate protester Blue Sandford is chained by the ankle in an illegally dug tunnel. The tunnel, 12-feet (3.6 meters) deep and 100ft long, is wet and muddy. It is propped up by wooden frames: in places wide enough only for them to lie flat on their stomachs.
