HS2 would provide a slower journey between London and Birmingham than current train services if plans to slash the project are enacted Labour's shadow transport secretary Louise Haigh said
“If this is true, what are we left with? The most expensive railway track in the world that thanks to terminating in Acton will be a longer journey between Birmingham and Central London than the one passengers currently enjoy.
Transport minister Richard Holden responded that “ministers will continue to keep the House updated as they have done regarding HS2.” “Uncertainty around phase 2 is unhelpful. And I would urge my honourable friend to consider the importance of northern infrastructure commitments to businesses across the region.”
He attacked Labour’s conflicted stance on HS2 by contrasting senior Labour figure Pat McFadden’s cautious answer on the cost of the railway when asked about it by the BBC, with the party’s commitment to build HS2 and Northern Powerhouse Rail in full in a recent policy document.
