The Sunday Times has blown the cover completely off #HS2 and the mindblowing corruption involved (15x the cost per mile of the most recent TGV line in France, and the firing or paying off of anyone thought to be gearing up to blow the whistle).

What does cancelling the HS2 leg past Birmingham mean for cities in the North West, and what about the increased car use it will cause?

@nblr As an English dude, I'm going to click, watch, enjoy, and then feel sad that our dumbass government just cancelled half of ours. #HS2 #HS2NothernPhase

HS2 is not about speed, it is about capacity. Local trains are very limited when they have to share a track with fast trains. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/hs2-logistics-financial-benefit-controversy-a8937936.html

It's Sunak's people briefing on HS2. He's complaining that he won't force himself into a decision. Bonkers. #hs2 #HS2NothernPhase

Absolutely appalling decision that will surely have lasting ramifications for train travel and rail competitiveness with flight. This country really must be a laughing stock when it comes to infrastructure. #HS2 #HS2NothernPhase

#HS2 what's going to happen to HS2 and the #HS2NothernPhase - unfortunately, whatever Sunak says is largely irrelevant as he'll be out come the general election, and, also, whatever Starmer says is irrelevant because everything starmer says is irrelevant to what he might actually do as prime minister (based on his track record of things he says) so I guess we'll have to ask major donors to political parties what the future of hs2 actually is.
