      It's sadly not the best.
      Cutbacks have plagued it.
      But now it's at the point of no return.

    Transforms Birmingham. What about Leeds, Manchester and the rest of the North?

      Because it is the reason HS2 is basically being built, to transform high speed train services from Birmingham to London so as to free up capacity at Birmingham New street station, the Midlands has had no real Railway improvements since the 1960's and the WCML Electrification.

      It’s also going to Manchester. Leeds did get the shit end of the stick though. Hopefully in the future they do the right thing and bring it back to Leeds

      @@MrOasis316 There is no reason for HS2 to go to Leeds, so to get to London from Leeds on HS2, you have to do a 90 mile trip cross country from Leeds to Birmingham, then down the HS2 line to London.

    Looking at this picture people that keep going on about HS2 could of used Birmingham New Street, the thing is that the site being shown from right at the top where the boundary fence is in front of the buildings at the top of the site to at 0.27 of the video right down to the line of buildings at the bottom boundary is the length of the area that Birmingham Curzon Street will be, more than 4 times the size of Birmingham New Street Station.

    About time, so sad, I'm a brummie and used to be proud of that. Now with labour in charge it's just gone down and down. At least the government is putting some money in not like labour that just squander it.

    I think rebuilding the flats and houses is the least you should do.
    Birmingham has a huge housing shortage, you have knocked down thousands of homes to build a train line that most people in Birmingham didn't want and will never be able to use it because it will be so expensive, for the average person. 😉

      @peterwilliamallen1063 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Get your facts right mate, HS2 has not knocked any homes to build the HS2 line from Curzon Street to Coleshill, Where the Birmingham Curzon Street Station is being built , the top half had been knocked down 30 years ago and was a Park and Grave Yard, the lower half was the site of where the old London and Birmingham Railway Station was, the line then runs on a viaduct following the old rail connection from the old Curzon Street Station to the Birmingham to Derby Line and then follows that on a separate track alignment to Washwood Heath where it will dive in to a tunnel opposite the site of the old MCW/DAF Factory under the Bromford Bridge Estate and resurface just past the old Castle Bromwich Station site and then it will be in open country side. So you think the average person wont be able to afford to use HS2 services to London, then I am afraid they wont travel to London as all Inter City Train services from Birmingham to London will transfer from Birmingham New Street to the HS2 line from Birmingham Curzon Street, cant understand why people keep saying that ordinary people wont e able to afford to travel on HS2 services, they travel on this type a train in Europe.
