I don't wish to bore readers yet again with the "Liverpool problem", but it is surely significant enough to be worthy of a mention. Thus:

1) Liverpool is by far the largest English city not to be connected to HS2; 2) Liverpool has several dedicated organizations (e.g. 20 Miles More & Linking Liverpool) committed to establishing a link between the city and HS2; 3) Liverpool (uniquely) has offered its own taxpayers' money to establish a connection with HS2, a proposal which the government has rejected; 4) Liverpool, post HS2, will have fewer seats per hour to London than any other English Core City; 5) Liverpool, post HS2, will have a poorer service to Birmingham than it does today (according to proposals by Centro, the West Midlands Transport Authority); 6) According to KPMG, Liverpool is the only Core City whose economy may be damaged by HS2, possibly by as much as £50 million per annum); 7) HS2 offers minimal additional capacity to Merseyside's rail network, despite passing within 5 miles of its boundaries, thus compromising the development of Liverpool's docks and logistics industries;

Yes, it's true that many other cities will not receive a High Speed link, but no other city is so large, so close to the high speed line, and so obviously disadvantaged by being excluded. The mere fact that this has become such a controversial issue surely justifies a mention in itself. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 185.108.92.23 (talk) 16:46, 5 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Too much on Manchester

There is quite a lot on Manchester centre and airport while Leeds and the east section is relegated to links. Either link Manchester or get Leeds in the article in depth. 2A01:4B00:881D:3700:9C95:80DB:C951:873B (talk) 10:11, 3 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
