Will HS2 Fail or Succeed?

I believe it will do both, it just depends on the measure you use. In an project there are three measures of success or failure, cost, time-scale and outcome and I believe it will fail on two but succeed on the most important and have set out my argument in a blog post here https://communities.theiet.org/groups/blogpost/view/27/231/6920

The project is so complex to think costs will not overrun or timing slip is to be naive, as it is impossible to predict them when the timescales are so long and the complexity so great, but the outcome will be a success

Helios, that's why HS2 as is will fail, is a waste of money, and needs to be cancelled asap. How we do business, have meetings, need sustainable net zero energy and net zero environment impact, etc, will have changed for 2 decades before the first train leaves the station. 19th century solution to a 20th century problem not fit for the 21st century requirement.
