Default Revised plans focus on upgrades. Government, cuts back North Rail

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...-unveiled.html

[Off the rails? PM faces fresh Tory meltdown
as furious MPs accuse him of broken vows
and causing 'generations' of pain
by downgrading flagship plans
for 'Levelling Up' rail in North,
sleaze storm rages on - and more polls show
scale of the damage]

[The government has scrapped the
Leeds leg of the HS2 high-speed rail line
as part of a package that ministers promise
will transform services.
Transport Secretary Grant Shapps has told
the Commons the overhaul
will bring faster journeys
up to 10 years earlier than planned.

HS2 trains were to run on a new
East Midlands-Leeds high speed line,
but will now run on existing routes.

Critics accused Mr Shapps of breaking
investment promises.

Shadow transport secretary Jim McMahon
said it was "the betrayal of trust,
the betrayal of promises and
the betrayal of investment the
north of England and the Midlands deserve".]



Yes No Money
for North Rail
