Rishi Sunak set to confirm scrapping of Manchester leg of HS2
The northern leg of the HS2 line is set to be scrapped due to soaring costs, according to Sky News.
The Independent reported that ministers are considering shelving the northern phase of the HS2 railway due to concerns about costs and delays, with estimates suggesting potential savings of up to £34bn.
This means that Manchester will no longer get a new connection to London through the HS2 high-speed rail project.
