  • MPs heard the Conservatives 'mothballed' part of the scheme after scrapping plans to build a high-speed line between Birmingham and Manchester.

The UK government is exploring alternative schemes to extend high-speed rail connectivity north of Birmingham, following the decision to cancel the northern leg of HS2. Transport Secretary Mark Harper has indicated that while the original plan for HS2 to Manchester has been scrapped, the government is committed to improving transport links in the region. This includes looking into a "pipeline of schemes" that could potentially serve the same purpose. The focus is now on reallocating the £36 billion saved from the HS2 cancellation to other transport projects, with an emphasis on ensuring that the North and Midlands benefit from enhanced rail infrastructure. This approach aims to address regional connectivity issues without the extensive costs and delays associated with the original HS2 project.
