By far PM has pledged over a billion transport projects across the country. After scraping the northern leg of the HS2 high-speed rail link, he is indulging in this field now more than ever. In a speech at the Conservative party conference, Rishi Sunak established that the Birmingham-Manchester leg of HS2 has been determined to be ditched after a few weeks of speculation. The money, amounting to £36bn would be spent on alternative rail, road, and bus schemes instead of HS2. He confessed the decision was made due to huge delays and massive costs of this project.

But this decision has led to accusations of the government for abandoning its mission to ‘Level Up’ areas of the UK, mostly the outskirts of London. In his speech, PM Sunak stated that the government “will reinvest every single penny” which has been saved from the canceling of the remainder of HS2, a total of £36bn. Yet, it is not clear when the money will be available, and in this regard MR. Sunak said, “Every region outside of London will receive the same or more government investment than they would have done under HS2, with quicker results.”

He continued, “Our plan will drive far more growth and opportunity here in the North than a faster train to London ever would.” This high-speed rail project will be linking London with the midlands and also the north of the country. The first part of this rail project will link London and Birmingham and the construction of this project has been started already Mr. Sunak confirms that the project will be completed before the premeditated time given.

But, this newly proposed scheme is also facing some unnecessary delays, cost increases, and cuts including the planned eastern leg between Birmingham and Leeds which was dismissed in late 2021. In March the governing body announced that the building of the line between Birmingham and Crewe, and then onto Manchester, would be delayed for 2 years at least.

• As per his plans to fund “hundreds” of alternative projects, such as
• Construction of the Midlands rail hub, connecting 50 stations
• Up-gradation of the A1, the A2, the A5 and the M6
• Construction of a Leeds tram system
• Funding the Shipley bypass, the Blyth relief road, and 70 other road schemes
• Electrifying train lines in North Wales
• Resurfacing roads across the country
