Tbh not many I know in Manchester really care about high speed connections to London( except for Man Utd supporters ) . The bigger issue is high speed connecting across the Pennines and the Northern infrastructure itself .
Yeah but 1km long subterranean station interchanges and lo fi house.
Presumably they are lobbying for HS4 to provide a fast Guildford Manchester link ?

UK construction industry meets youtube generation.
I've only just found this channel; it's kind of interesting because most UK construction companies are kind of old fashioned in their approach to various things, but these guys not only have a youtube channel but are getting involved with rail to move materials around including for their HS2 work.

Germany eases cost of living crisis with €9 a month public transport ticket
A €9-a-month ticket scheme is to be introduced from 1 June allowing travel on all modes of city and regional transport. The ticket will apply nationwide and will be available for three months until the end of August.
Anti-capitalist protesters have called on Germans to take advantage of a heavily discounted public transport pass to “storm” a holiday island frequented by the rich and famous.
Sylt, an island off Germany’s North Sea coast, is seen as one of the more sought-after destinations for buyers of the €9-a-month ticket being introduced from 1 June

Did anyone actually get anything from the Great British Rail Sale in the end?

Possibly. Earlier this month my OH and I bought two singles from Tulse Hill to Lewes travelling on a Sunday morning, which we purchased just 36 hours prior, and two singles from Brighton to Tulse Hill travelling Monday lunchtime.
We paid just a combined £25 odd for the outbound journey, and about £27 for the return journey. My OH has an annual gold card which entitled us to a third off, but even so £12/ £13 per head (so about £20 for someone who didn’t have a gold card) for a one-way journey on both occasions seems far too cheap to me, certainly when bought with little notice.

I happened to find a single from London to Nottingham (a journey i was going to do anyway) for £12.

One stop before Nottingham there’s a nice pub right by the station (you can actually walk right off the platform into the pub’s garden).
PM me if you fancy a pint.

That was some time ago (though they held out an impressively long time).
Nowadays they have the WiFi password on a sign on the wall.

And, as if by magic, the “HS2: Government scraps plans for £3bn West Coast Main Line link”…that’s the bit that goes through the constituency of the chairman of the 1922 committee

Exasperated, not angry.
It was actually announced thirty minutes before the vote started but no one noticed till today.

I wonder what the vote result would have been without this?

Ironically, the more branch offshoots and connections they cancel, the even more pisspoor bad value for money the whole project becomes. At this rate we’re going to end up with a parallel route between the already well served Lon-Man-Glasgow/Edinburgh route. Which might come somewhat handy for extra capacity, but not at the cost that is now larger than the annual GPD of the likes of Morocco.

Suggestions that Old Oak Common might be the London terminus.

What's the betting for the maximum speed to be restricted to 125mph?
