There has been a call for 'urgent action'
The government needs to “urgently” explore how it intends to bring HS2 trains to Leeds, a cross-party group of MPs have said.
To compensate, the government had promised a £100m study on how to bring HS2 trains to Leeds, potentially on existing tracks, but that’s still yet to begin. The delay has frustrated regional leaders still reeling from the cancellation of the eastern leg, with West Yorkshire mayor Tracy Brabin recently complaining Leeds has been “left in limbo”.
That view’s been backed by the committee, in their report on the government’s planned investment on railway infrastructure across the North and Midlands. Last year the government outlined a £96bn integrated rail plan for improving train services across the North and Midlands, though that sum does include the cost of building HS2.
