HK-Guangzhou railway to be delayed by 2 years

Machine damage caused it.

According to Barclays, the HK$67bn high-speed railway linking Hong Kong to Guangzhou will be delayed by up to two years.

The MTR attributed the delay to damage to a tunnel boring machine as well as problems with the construction of the West Kowloon Terminus.

Here's more from Barclays:

The delays mean that construction will not finish until 2016 with service starting in 2017.

When announced, the project was expected to be finished by 2015.
