@Julespickford @ilovenostalgia Ha! My science teacher in the first 3 years of secondary school did that… in the early 90s too!

1978 and these public safety films were all the rage in Britain 🇬🇧. This little lad's frisbee has ended up in the electricity substation. We all remember what happens when he tries to retrieve it...⚠️⚡⚡⚡⚡⚰

@flyinglawyer73 @YesterdaysBrit1 “The Finishing Line”? It was Sports Day on the railway, wasn’t it?

I just gave this interview on the HS2 news... I think it probably answers any questions you might have... https://t.co/YAltliwzqp

Remember, the Tories promised to deliver Pennine electrification and #HS2 to Manchester. It was not either , or. #CPC23 #CPC2023 #Manchester

[Gareth Dennis @GarethDennis]

So @edwardlamb asked me this question and so here's my honest answer... The full, pre-Oakervee(ish) scope of HS2 (to Manchester AND Leeds) could be delivered by:

2⃣0⃣3⃣6⃣

[Matt HB - matthodg.bsky.social @matthewhodg]

Perfect timing.

It’s now 40 years since we built new fast rail infrastructure north of London. What a perfect time to put it off another 20…. 🙄

[Philip Haigh @philatrail]

Here’s a tiny bit more detail of what the Prime Minister thinks will replace HS2 to Manchester. It’s rather vague on timescales and some of it was already being done.

[Delyth Jewell - Plaid Cymru @DelythJewellAM]

Sunak's HS2 announcement today was cynical stuff: policy made on the hoof, designed to grab headlines, and no doubt banking on the likelihood he won't be there to deliver on the hastily-made promises. Wales is still owed billions that could be used to electrify all Welsh lines 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

[Nathan 🔎 @NathanpmYoung]

@CarolineLucas This is your victory.

Own it.

[Liz Saville Roberts AS/MP @LSRPlaid]

Would a Labour UK Government give Wales the money we are already owed from this failed project?

Remember - Plaid Cymru MPs were the only Welsh MPs to vote against the #HS2 bill in 2013

Only Plaid Cymru fights for Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

[Chris Howe (aka Rail Focus) 🏳️‍🌈 @EngFocus]

And Sunak is further ensuring any future extensions to HS2 cannot happen. Mostly just as a London focused land grab.
