Tree-top protesters opposed to the construction of the HS2 train line yesterday revealed their plan to escape eviction by camping out in a 100-foot tunnel that they had secretly constructed under the streets of London.

Bailiffs descended on the protest at Euston Square on Wednesday morning, where people have been living in 80-foot-high treehouses, tents, and pallet shelters since the summer.
