The decision to delay HS2 could lead to hundreds of manufacturing jobs being lost in a key Red Wall seat, the government has been warned
The decision to delay HS2 could lead to hundreds of manufacturing jobs being lost in a key ‘Red Wall’ seat, the government has been warned.
In 2021, the Government agreed a £2.7billion deal to design and build the new high-speed “bullet” trains in a joint venture with Hitachi in County Durham and Alstom in Derby.Transport Secretary Mark Harper confirmed last week that parts of the high-speed rail link between Birmingham, Crewe and Manchester will be delayed by two years.
“The fact that it’s not going to Euston for some time, they’re not going to go north of Birmingham for some time… it’s all a bit uncertain.”
