HS2 London to Midlands rail plan backed by Pete Waterman
The HS2 rail line will end the 'north-south divide' in Britain, claims rail enthusiast Pete Waterman as he recalls how a previous upgrade made it possible for him to get from the Midlands to London in less than an hour.
If the project goes ahead a new line from London Euston to Birmingham Curzon Street will open around 2025, before being extended to Leeds and Manchester, and possibly Glasgow and Edinburgh. Mr Waterman calls for a stop in Crewe.
