In their statement, the mayors added: “The UK does not need a new line that only goes from Birmingham to Old Oak Common, which is six miles from central London. This does nothing for the North of England.
"The full Y-shaped HS2 plan was designed to deliver economic benefit right across the country not only between the North and London but between Leeds, Sheffield, Manchester and Birmingham. All of these gains look set to be lost if media reports this week are to be believed.”Some have been concerned that details coming this week would cast a shadow over the Conservatives’ party conference, which starts on Sunday in Manchester.
