I lived in Littleborough once upon a time and commuted to Manchester by train. I also visited my family in Leeds by train and car. I do not think the train service has been improved over my lifetime and it was far better once the M 62 was built to travel to Leeds by car.

@darthwiizius I don't think the Bradford to Leeds service has improved .The government of the day has not spoken to the experts in transport because in their planes and limos the use of a train strikes them as suitable only for the poor or eccentric. I personally dislike driving and enjoy train journeys but have 1 complaint which is seeing people put their feet on the seats; it is so disrespectful.

Alan there is something very wrong when costs escalate so much that the project can't be afforded . I would like to understand why HS 2 costings were so ridiculous.

Jackzzz give Keir a break he is merely pointing out that Boris has once again changed his mind .Remember we have years of debating HS 2 and until today the Boris government supported the project .What has happened to change our brilliant PM to change his mind.

@insomniacbritgaming1632 The North produces goods for the South and both need the other .We are better together and that applies to Europe as well.
