So, this afternoon I got home to find a lovely letter from @northernassist telling me about how they wanted to prosecute me for using the below ticket to travel on the specified route at a peak time.
I paid £1.90 less than the fare they say I should have paid.

She thinks they stormed the beach at Normandy to face down communism.

Cruella Braverman and the Tories have successfully continued to cause division resulting in scenes like this on what is meant to be a weekend for reflection. Shame on you #ToriesOut #ToriesBrokeBritain

This is the British far right. Police have lost control. We feared this would happen. Fifteen minutes to 11am on Armistice Day. Absolute disgrace

Thank you to passengers for your patience while we have had scaffolding in the station.

We have started to take it down.

Overlaying the HS2+HS3 route with a map of population density in the UK (from a paper on air quality, but it sufficies for this purpose).

There are two main concentrations of population in the UK - London and its immediate surroundings, and the ring of Birmingham-Manchester-Leeds, which i'll refer to as the "North" here even though it encompasses some of the Midlands and not all of the actual North.

The only part of the whole network which is being built now is that which connects London to Birmingham; which will benefit Birmingham somewhat, but mostly will benefit commuters near London.

The cancelled part of the network would've bought the North closer to being able to function as a continuous economic unit. Manchester to Leeds in 25 minutes, Birmingham to Leeds in 46 minutes. A paranoid Northerner might suspect that politicians in London intentionally sabotaged such integration.

As it is, the government breathlessly announces that you will still be able to board high speed services on regular tracks, and they will only go high speed on the existing line (as if they just thought of the idea, and that wasn't already the plan during phase one anyway). So the trains will only serve to get people from the North to London and back. They are perhaps genuinely baffled as to why someone would board a train and not go to London.

@PollingReportUK I don’t understand?! Am I missing something?

Worth remembering HS2 was being designed for a 1 in 1000 year flood event.

Just north of Grantham. 🌧️

[Robert Saunders @redhistorian]

Parliament spent over 1300 hours on legislation & scrutiny for HS2.

Yet Parliament played no role in the decision to scrap it, which was announced unilaterally by the PM at party conference.

So what does this mean for Parliament? New @HansardSociety blog

@SophyRidgeSky If only you had HS2, you’d be there in just over an hour
