As HS2 is yet to be finalised, Gideon today announced his big, bold idea of HS3, linking Manchester to Leeds.

So HS2, will link Leeds and Manchester to Birmingham and London - whilst having a HS3 linking the two cities together.

Whatever the flaws are in relation to HS2, it seems the Government still haven't cottoned on to the idea that there are people, towns, cities and businesses beyond Leeds and Manchester...

Or resolved the issue with transport outside of London not integrating with one another. We'll spend millions on a rail link to get people between Birmingham (which is a dump anyway), and London quicker. Yet Joe Bloggs is still unable to use their Megarider on the Metro or an Arriva bus.
