Stop the imbalance in expenditure.

Stop the North South divide from widening even more! Improvement in infrastructure is vital to the area economy.

Typical London-centric hypocrisy.

As soon as the Conservatives are the sole drivers of the train they change all the signals to green and race as quickly as they can towards London.

We need to get this started now not in 10 years time or whenever London can spare some change!

Stop spending in the South, people in the North pay tax as well and deserves to have a good train service

I can't believe they are spending 92% of cash down south & think this is acceptable!

Typical u-turn by a Tory government. If this was in the South it wouldn't have got scrapped.

I am sick to death of the tory imbeciles walking over the north all the time.

what a betrayal, it was only promised to buy our votes. It wouldn't happen in the South

The north can't survive being London's poorer neighbours for much longer. Electrification of key lines is a good start and needs to be followed up by rolling stock that if fit for purpose (needs to be either new or completely stripped down an rebuilt, light refreshes don't cut it... What happened to the 319s is a minimum)

Get your priorities right! HS2 is not only a complete luxury for Birmingham and London knowing the speed of the current Pendolino service but its also a future money-winner for the eventual franchise holder! The Manchester - Leeds electrification is long overdue!

This has more significance that the HS2 project. Which lets face it is just for mp's and big compnay fat cats to travel on.

We need to expose the Tory 'Northern Powerhouse' rhetoric

Show us that all the talk of a Northern Powerhouse wasn't just guff to get you votes. I'm cynical at best..
