£73bn in 2033 prices including interest. That's like saying that you won't buy a house as by the time you've paid off the Mortgage it will have cost you twice as much as you could have paid for it if you had paid cash.
A very bad feature of HS2 is that it will be under construction for the best part of a decade, with interest charges building up, before any revenue arises.
