What is Network North? Rishi Sunak’s plan to replace HS2 explained, and how he says it could cut journey timesPrime Minister Rishi Sunak delivers his keynote speech at the Conservative Party annual conference at the Manchester Central convention complex He said the £36 billion savings would be spent on “hundreds of new transport projects” across the north and the midlands, and the new approach would “make a real difference across our nation”.
“Our plan will drive far more growth and opportunity here in the north than a faster train to London ever would.” “As a result of the decision we’re taking today, every region outside of London will receive the same or more government investment than they would have done under HS2 with quicker results,” he said.
