Remarkable the sheer level of incompetence around this whole project

Excellent. Crewe is a proper hub station and taking HS2 there opens it up to whole heaps of travellers who change at Crewe for London services anyway. Whilst many passengers from Manchester & Liverpool will likely stay on WCML services for the time being, it means travellers from places like south Cheshire, North Wales etc etc will use HS2 services – which wouldn’t be practical if it went only to Birmingham.
Now what I would like to see is the immediate reinstatement of the safeguarding of the rest of the route to Manchester.
