HS2 is many years delayed and billions (tens of?) over budget. And drastically cut down.

Not sure I'd use it as a success story.

You can call it failed or success after 10 years in operation. Before that, it's still an ongoing process. Infrastructure is for the long-term.

Parts of HS2 (the northern bits) won’t ever be built. From where I’m sitting in York, it already looks like a failure.

That isn't a failure of the planning system, or from interference from environmentalists.

It's a failure of government and the British democracy.

It's both. Look up council complaints and demands for the HS2, they're full of unreasonable NIMBY stuff like asking for the line to be put in a tunnel because it comes closer than 100m to an industrial estate. They didn't get it of course, but as a "compromise" they got high berms after a lengthy consultation/bargaining, both of which inflate the cost.
