It's all arse about. There are at least four fast routes between London and the north. Building a HS cross Pennine network would bring many more people/trips links to existing London routes as well as replacing millions of car trips in the area.
The existing HS2 plans will only serve a fraction of that population, some decades in the future. The main beneficiaries of HS2 are the engineering construction companies and their political friends. It should be stopped now.
