HS2 - Birmingham to Manchester scrapped.

The question is now HS2 to Manchester has been scrapped. Will there ever be another big transport infrastructure project in this country? Of course there will, it just won't be in the North of the country. That is what the decision is all about. Sunak he billionaire who's constituency is in Yorkshire doesn't give a flying fuck about anything outside or London .

I see they are now saying HS2 hasn't been scrapped it just won't be HS2 north of Birmingham?? YCNMIU
 
Liverpool / Chester to Cardiff next Sunday looks interesting… North Walians need to go via Shrewsbury which, when I last looked, was in England.

I like to get to Swansea twice a year but the train journey is over five hours.
 
If you read about this happening in another country you wouldn't believe it, we should build for the future and create a world class transport system, as usual its all about London, that leg would be built whatever the cost
 
I wonder who thought it was going to look good to claim for weeks that he was taking his time and considering carefully only to come out with it just in time for conference speech.

Madness.

Crossrail 2 will be the next major infrastructure project.

These trains being purchased for HS2 when they get onto the national rail network after Birmingham going up to Manchester. Will they be able to move at the speed that they were designed for or moving significantly slower?

No chance , they will be held up by the rail lines antiquated infrastructure and all the other local trains that run on the same tracks.

A maximum of 250mph south of Lichfield and existing line speed north of there up to a maximum of 110mph.
Unlike the existing Pendolino trains, they won't tilt so can't achieve the current 125mph.
