Not a bad article that, even if it is in the Graduian
HS2 and the comparison between ‘Nothern Powerhouse Rail’ should be explored further by mainstream hacks. The piss poor Transpennine upgrade is something that clearly shows how money is spent in NR in N v S terms.
East West Rail has also taken far to long to get off the ground, considering it’s obvious benifits. It just goes to show how these large projects now ‘suck’ the industry in and starve other projects.
Worth a read;
