Andy Burnham: Axing Northern HS2 Would Leave Us With Victorian Infrastructure | Good Morning Britain

A decision to scrap the Birmingham to Manchester leg of HS2 is expected imminently after the Government said it would be ‘irresponsible’ to keep ploughing money into the project in the face of rising costs. The decision would mean that the Birmingham to Manchester leg of the high-speed rail line would not be built.

This morning, Wigan and Bolton unveil a new fleet of publicly owned-buses - the first for almost forty years. The Bee Network will serve parts of Bury, Salford and Manchester and will be able to decide their own routes and prices

Andy Burnham says the North already 'have to put up with daily chaos on the railways' and scrapping the HS2 link from Birmingham to Manchester would 'leave them with Victorian infrastructure'.
