Are you feeling in the mood to #petition?

#Leave or #Remain, we can all agree on #HS2.

Spot the difference 😂

@BBCLookNorth Investing in new signs up north...with the usual attention to detail.

@Carmel_Harrison @MetroTravelNews love our new Woodlesford sign at the train station

[Stewart Golton 🔶 @GoltonStewart]

For clarity, as an opponent of HS2, my point was less the poor quality of the viaduct; it was that the Council are deluded if they think they’ll get “quality mitigation” on the route into Leeds from their HS2 friends judging by cost cutting already happening ⁦⁦@hs2sowhat

@Carmel_Harrison @stophs2 @FinancialTimes @GoltonStewart @OpinionYP @hs2sowhat £89bn would replace every hospital in the NHS with a brand spanking new one and still leave enough to build £400 new schools. #StopHS2

@Carmel_Harrison @stophs2 @FinancialTimes @GoltonStewart @OpinionYP @hs2sowhat Politicians who supported this awful project need to be held to account! In 2013 anyone who read their documents or deal with #HS2 knew the project was deeply flawed! @BarrySheerman @CherylGillan read the documents and easily reached that conclusion! There is no excuse!

@stuartbruce @HS2ltd @hs2sowhat We get massive disruption to local towns and villages from construction traffic. Closures and diversions. TWENTY construction compounds. A mega 24hr train cleaning depot in the greenbelt. Local outstanding primary school under threat. #HS2 apologists wake up to the damage!

[hs2SOWHAT @hs2sowhat]

@joncstone @stuartbruce @HS2ltd It’s not on the midland mainline.

[Stuart Bruce | The PR Futurist 💡 @stuartbruce]

What about the towns that are disadvantaged by HS2? Does nobody care about us? In Rothwell they smash through our villages, clog our roads, close our station and destroy our countryside. What do we get? Absolutely nothing but pain and utter contempt from @HS2ltd Back @hs2sowhat

.@BBCLookNorth in Yorkshire are reporting on the route changes this evening - tune in if you’re in the area.

@stophs2 @Carmel_Harrison @AlecShelbrooke

[hs2SOWHAT @hs2sowhat]

Misleading article.
- Of course fares will not go down
- Excludes high running costs & the impact of HS2’s massive energy needs
- On capacity, doesn’t mention decline in freight & only considers commuter trains on main lines served by HS2
- Trains on E/W main lines are not full

[Jon Stone @joncstone]

I’ve written a piece about why we need HS2 - if you’re undecided please give it a read and tell me what you think https://t.co/LP76h6QrzA

[Carmel Harrison @Carmel_Harrison]

Don't be fooled. This is worse than the previous plan. It increases the visual impact on residents without reducing the #environmental impact during #construction. @GoltonStewart @hs2sowhat @stophs2 @stophs2bramley

[hs2SOWHAT @hs2sowhat]

@Nicola_Rees Hi Nicola, thanks for your interest. Yes, we could arrange that - please PM more details.

[Brigit Strawbridge @B_Strawbridge]

'HS2 said replacing the dead trees was more "cost effective" than watering them.'

Criminal.

Damning report into @HS2. Someone with power says what @hs2sowhat have been saying all along. @GoltonStewart. Lords call for ‘pause’ to construction of £56bn HS2 rail line https://t.co/1canXnjjB8 via @financialtimes

Would you trust #HS2 if it loses FOI requests? https://t.co/03TAZ0CDx0
A month ago it sent me a reply to someone else's FOI. Utterly incompetent. How did it arrive at the "connect 30 million" figure? That's nearly half the UK population! @allancook1949 @CommonsPAC @NAOorguk

This monstrous white elephant devastates my constituency. The cost is likely to be £100 billion minimum when the rest of the country needs real investment in local railways. https://t.co/CCcpnjGvjQ
