Treasury brain is absolutely destroying this country.
Always the north that gets shafted with infrastructure projects.
Wild reading this as I am sat on my delayed transpennine train.
This isnt looking good unless is get to a point of no return this parliament. Reform have already said they’re going to cancel HS2 and all ‘new’ high speed rail projects if they get elected.
“extended tyre kicking” – Ah yes, because the issue with HS2 was that it didn’t have enough bureaucracy red tape.
Meanwhile China continues to build thousands of miles of high speed rail
> concern over long-term costs… extended review process
I’m convinced Whitehall just hates the country. Treasury brain policies and Whitehall’s worshipping of red tape and slow change are so infuriating
Thought the name was changed to levelling up? Ah must have been 14 years of shoddy policy under different titles.
Funny how northerners have to pay the same taxes as every other Brit, but we’re lucky to get so much as crumbs from the Home Counties table.
So Labour were expected to re-announce a scheme originally announced 11 years ago but now won’t and the re-announcement has been pushed back. Meanwhile many other countries would have used those 11 years to actually build the infrastructure project!
It’s always the same in the UK, we spend decades and decades and decades talking about how good it would be to build some much needed infrastructure while the only work that gets done is by consultants redesigning the same thing over and over and costs rise exponentially.
Angry Andy Burnham noises incoming and tbf, I can’t blame him
It’s not a northern thing, Elizabeth line was delayed by 4 years. London had crossrail 2 and bakerlook line extension selved and TfL receives little gov money anymore.
But then there’s also the fact that London, south east and east england are the only regions which are net contributors to the public finances. So you’d be a stupid gov if you didn’t look after you golden geese.
