    Article: Jan 24, 2012

    Commenting on the announcement that the Transport Secretary is giving the go ahead for High Speed 2, Co-chair of the Liberal Democrat Parliamentary Party Committee on Transport, Julian Huppert said:

    "This is excellent news. The Liberal Democrats were the first party to call for the high speed rail link - as far back as 2004. It will make life easier for passengers and bring huge benefits to the country as a whole, generating economic growth and creating jobs.

    "This project will also improve national capacity for rail freight. Finally rail can be seen as a realistic alternative to the road for moving freight. This has the potential to take heavy goods vehicles off our major routes, easing congestion and cutting carbon emissions.

    "This project will also improve connections further north and up toScotland, so it is important that the Government starts planning for the next phases soon.
