HAALO: Construction and Real Assets industry insights

"Too Late, Too Soon" is the latest HAALO podcast where Britain's biggest rail project proves that timing really is everything.

Join us as we follow the epic HS2 saga—a masterclass in poor procurement, premature construction, and the shocking revelation that it sometimes rains in England. From contracts signed before plans were finished to diggers arriving before common sense, this episode explores how billions can be spent moving surprisingly little railway. Equal parts infrastructure analysis and cautionary tale, Too Late, Too Soon asks the question: when a project starts too early, finishes too late, and gets soaked along the way, was it ever really on track?

Another HAALO podcast that dares to ask those difficult questions and to get behind the equally difficult answers, such as:

1) are the brakes being applied to 'High' Speed 2 - to slow it down?

2) are 'new' towns really the way forward?

3) can Lego really make construction vehicles?

4) is there a bright new future without construction workers?
