Virgin's 2017 passenger totals show @HS2ltd forecasts are wildly off the mark with Liverpool 10yrs ahead of schedule

I spoke earlier at the local launch of @Transport4North’s plan for northern connectivity. The benefits of properly connecting the city region to Manchester, Leeds, Sheffield, Hull and Newcastle are clear for all to see. The government now need to act to make it happen.

In the last few months @Transport4North has backed the idea of connecting Liverpool to the high-speed rail network. It's up to HS2 / Network Rail and T4N to decide on a route.

A commission to to bring a new station to Liverpool city centre has been announced by Metro Mayor Steve Rotheram this morning. It will accommodate future HS2 and Northern Powerhouse trains. https://t.co/cZTYQ9QsJu

How to solve train overcrowding? Disconnect Liverpool!
The fastest route to Glasgow WAS to travel via Wigan taking the Manchester Airport-Glasgow train. To stop overcrowding the Wigan stop was axed by @TPExpressTrains & passenger numbers have plummeted. https://t.co/VBPRr3gNtD

Liverpool - London train fare is the third most expensive per mile at £162.50 (84p per mile)

The North has at last seen some real investment as toilet charges are canceled at @NetworkRailLIV @NetworkRailLDS and @NetworkRailMAN

HM Gov cancels £7Bn investment in "Crossrail for the North" and simultaneously adds yet another £1Bn to the £18Bn spent on London's #Crossrail
Will the #NorthernPowerhouse ever see any real money, or is it just smoke & mirrors?

Looks like @mayor_anderson is fuming over HS2. https://t.co/kQNrYnwhRN

[Andrew Morris @andrewemorris]

The business case to connect Liverpool is "the most compelling of any section of Northern Powerhouse Rail" yet HM Gov reneges on £7Bn commitment for rail investment in the North. https://t.co/9RcH2bDMbY

[20 Miles More @20MilesMore]

#BreakingNewsn how the North had a promised £7bn investment in new & improved east-west rail links from Liverpool to Manchester and beyond snatched away by HM Gov. #NorthernPowerhouse #HS3 #HS2

Liverpool's high speed rail link to HS2, Manchester and the North is a priority according to recent reports https://t.co/drBIgtKd7z

[Andrew Morris @andrewemorris]

Could an upgraded Wrexham-Bidston service be extended to Liverpool's underground? Promising reports of discussions between Welsh Economy Sec. and Merseytravel. It makes great sense, intensive use of our unique assets.

@ShareTheCity @MetroMayorSteve Yes Jonathan, he's making headway through work with Andy Burnham and TfN. It's a constant slog against the rhetoric of decline and of one certain city being a proxy for the North...

Deeply disturbing that the chair of the NIC is spreading fake news to boost the south and deminish a great city of the North. Liverpool is a city of c1.5m in a metropolitan area of c2.4m of which Liverpool council is just a part. https://t.co/DlHZRO919e
