Boris Johnson during a visit to Curzon Street railway station in Birmingham where the HS2 rail project is under construction. But why can’t work also begin in Leeds, asks Peter Rickaby? Picture Eddie Keogh/PA Wire
If the HS2 rail project is so important to the North, why is work not beginning now on the top section starting at Leeds?
The track’s course has been finalised. Starting now would knock 10 years off the completion date. Just how serious is the Government’s commitment to the North?
