Original Note:
By scrapping both northern legs of HS2, the Government has stripped the North of new rail capacity in Manchester, Leeds and Sheffield. London-bound services will continue to use the existing platforms and railways, leaving no room for new local services and additional freight. https://www.independent.co.uk/travel/news-and-advice/hs2-birmingham-manchester-london-leeds-b2422490.html
