Nah the modern ones would build half of it. Run it overbudget 3x and the abandon the project at about 65% completion due to increased costs and complications. It would take them 5 years to do it.
The London underground would never be constructed today. It would cost like 40 bajillion dollarydoos
Then they'd renegotiate the contract so they have to pay even more.
Based on real events.
Not quite modern british but it took about 3 years in Esperence - including the [first guy going bust](first guy going bust).
