This is not the worst example. Some sort of tunnel would be needed here, but I agree that it could probably be shorter.

In regards of "pointlessness" nothing beats Chipping Warder Green Tunnel...
That’s to avoid having a relatively deep cutting, at about 45-50m deep, which at modern standards would require about a 200m wide void in the existing hill. I think it’s a reasonable decision compared to leaving it fully open.

New drone footage of HS2 section near Stoneleigh.

Very little seems to have happened on this section, apart from fencing off a very wide strip of land
