The government’s scheme for a super-duper high-speed rail link going north from London started off with a budget of around £7 BILLION. Its latest budget estimate is around £57 BILLION and the final cost is expected to be so far over the hills and far away that it won't get past Crewe if it’s ever built. And it won’t even get to Crewe if there are hedgehogs living in a car park on the route.
So much for Chancellor’s plan for it to give access to his Northern Poorhouse in Manchester, Leeds, Sheffield, etc.
