Listening to World At One this lunchtime, questions about the lack of it were clearly anticipated, given the same number was trotted out by various Conservatives, when pointed questions were asked about the cancellation of HS2 from Birmingham to Manchester.

To save money, why don't they keep Brum - Manc - Leeds and scrap London - Brum?

Worth pointing out that it won’t go to a London terminal either.

The trans Pennine route has required upgrading for decades. But 'cos it doesn't terminate in London........... (Or may be that's just my Northern cynicism)

In further levelling up news

Transpennine "Express" are to cancel 20 "services" a day from December

Probably for good reasons - but good reasons based on lack of investment over the years and lack of anyone in government being bothered

IMO - obviously

"What this report shows is that we need far more than discussions on finance redistribution, but a strategy to go after the root causes of poverty, education, work, debt, addiction and family."

'However, Liberal Democrat council leader Amanda Hopgood said officials were told County Durham was removed as a priority area before the third round was decided, "therefore reducing the likelihood of any success", she added.'
