Common sense at last.

When it comes to delivering improvements sooner and with minimised disruption, the IRP is a no-brainer. The first of its kind and it’s already helping to deliver! Read my words 👇 northernpowerhouse.gov.uk/bl…

As a Leeds resident I've almost never met anybody round here who wanted H S 2. We are delighted this leg is cancelled

#bbcpnw "Northern Leaders" duped into supporting #HS2 that took resources away from local transport. They should have been lobbying for regional solutions, trains, trams & buses that would benefit ordinary people instead of a London-centric white elephant sucking activity South.

If I had a pound for every time I'd screamed at the telly this week I'd be rich. The mis-information AND dis-information being put out by people who don't even understand the failings of the now abandoned #hs2 eastern leg are unbelievable. No benefits = no good. It's simple.

@Rail I understand your anger but HMG knew the cost & programme delivery issues in 2015 and 2019 but did NOT share them with Parliament, Oakervee or the public. The decisions yesterday were inevitable. Had you allowed me the right to reply, you wouldn't face embarrassment

Many people warned Northern politicians lobbying for #HS2 was a mistake/would dominate resources and take money from better projects. Turned out to be true. Worse still is the 120yr +carbon foorprint of the scheme. Rail users who transfer to HS2 will increase their C02 footprint

In 2050, poor Toby will have a long, long wait on the platforms at the #HS2 Leeds terminus.

lives, human, animal and plant, that building it will cost. The rest applauded when a lady said she didn't want HS2 but wanted local and regional transport. The North Does Not Want HS2, so pull the plug on it now @BorisJohnson and start to give the people what they truly need

I think this is what @RishiSunak has just announced: For #sustainable #transport English city regions are to get only 5.38% of the budget that's being spent on #HS2 #unsustainable transport So much for #COP26

Another NORTHERN #MP admits that #HS2 is not what The #North needs. Well done Miriam Cates. It's about time the people making decisions for the North actually listened to the people who live here! yorkshirepost.co.uk/news/opi…

#HS2 have documentation of off route environmental impact. Whoever is running the #HS2 ltd social media account needs to consider government departments and quangos have a duty to the public. Playing these childish misinformation games brings the organisation into disrepute.

Green washing nonsense full of lies, half truths, and very misleading. Written by one of the 17 #hs2 PR companies ?

Massive discrepancies have emerged between the government’s value of various jobs on the £100bn High Speed 2 #HS2 project and official figures given by the project promoter.

This is getting ridiculous @CommonsPAC & #hs2 #Construction has barely begun. Imagine what the final #cost will be to the #taxpayer - the majority of whom will have no access to it & never use it. We don't need it to create #Jobs. We already have over a million #vacancies
