What bottleneck between London and Birmingham exists that is making my journeys from York to Leeds so fraught ?
Are you trying to convince me that HS2 is worth my tax £s because it’ll make TPE services better ??
No more capital expenditure should be allocated to London bound rail services until the northern corridor line (Liverpool, Manchester, Leeds, York, Hull) has been substantially upgraded or replaced.
- eynsham 3y agoI agree that the segment north of Birmingham was important for removing bottlenecks, including those that affect services from London. That is precisely why I think it makes little sense to regard HS2 as meaningfully cancelled only for those in the northeast. The cancellation is a problem for everybody.
- switch007 3y agoI do love it when HS2 is sold as the solution to all rail congestion everywhere in the UK. Absolutely hilarious that in fact a separate rail upgrade project is underway between Manchester and York, unrelated to HS2
