Does anyone else have to stop thinking about HS2, because it's so infuriating that it's been gutted? (self.ukpublictransport)

From a grand project encompassing most of England's major cities, improving connections up to Scotland and most importantly, reducing congestion on the West Coast Mainline.

To a line from Old Oak Common, to Birmingham. Total. We need to be working on HS3 and HS4 right now, not cutting HS2 back to the bare minimum. Makes me so angry.

Yeah it is very annoying. It may get restored in the future but at the moment it's just another failed infrastructure project due to a lack of political will and leadership.

As a northerner I'm angry that "Northern Powerhouse Rail" still hasn't gotten anyway. The economic benefits of east/west connections in the north would benefit the whole country.
