Rishi Sunak will announce the Birmingham to Manchester HS2 line will be axed
There is 'growing anger' in Greater Manchester over the Prime Minister's widely expected decision to scrap the northern HS2 line.
“That second part of the line, the balance that has to be made given that bit has not been built yet, is whether it makes sense to carry on building that given the world has changed.” “I’ve been in politics 30 years, I’ve never seen a party come to a conference and leave an axe hanging over the place they’re in for the whole week. And then actually drop it on that place.
“And if you speak to anybody who lives here, they would say that is probably the highest transport priority in the country, because people travelling from Liverpool to Manchester to Leeds and beyond, just suffer daily misery trying to do that journey. And that new line is critically important to the north of England in the rest of this century.
