i take it that hs2 ‘light’ to crewe is probably unlikely then

this is like hs2 in the uk. If the manchester to Birmingham leg was done first, the london one would have been inevitable. Now we just get the london-Birmingham leg which is not very useful on its own

Stephen, do you think labour could have won in 2024 if they said they would reverse sunak’s NI cuts? Even with a lower majority?

@andyburnham.bsky.social have you got any updates on your midlands-northwest rail link plans? Is there any chance it happens?
