Announced a scaling back of investment in rail around the country last Friday, today promise to back a £30bn Crossrail 2 project in London. They don't give a fuck about anyone in the North.
Its an absolute disgrace that there isn't a high speed line between the major Northern cities- Liverpool, Manchester, Leeds, York and Newcastle. It is actually not much different to go via London between Liverpool and Newcastle (takes 3.5 hours) ffs.
