The Department for Transport has published its results of the consultation ‘Crewe Hub: options for building on existing connectivity’ held in 2017.
Cheshire East Council leaders have welcomed a Government announcement for a public consultation on plans to build a HS2 Hub station in South Cheshire.
The consultation was unveiled today (July 17) by Transport Secretary Chris Grayling who confirmed Britain’s high speed rail lines to the North West, East Midlands and Yorkshire.
Council leaders in Cheshire East have welcomed a Government report which revealed more details about Phase Two of high-speed rail project HS2.
The report from the Secretary of State confirms the intended route known as 2b through Cheshire East and on to Manchester Airport and Manchester.
Crewe & Nantwich MP Edward Timpson believes the decision to site HS2 hub station in Crewe is “fantastic”.
Conservative MP Mr Timpson says he has been pestering Transport Secretary Patrick McLoughlin to make Crewe’s case, and to speed the project up.
A Green Party candidate has attacked Cheshire East Council chiefs’ claims how the HS2 rail project will boost Crewe and Nantwich. John Knight labelled HS2 an “expensive vanity project” and believes Cheshire East has been “betrayed” by the Government.
