Call it the Great Welsh Train Robbery – a £4bn HS2 scandal happening in plain sight | Will Hayward | The Guardian

1. A news story about Wales on a website that doesn’t bombard you with far too many ads making the article unreadable.

   I never thought I’d see the day

2. This is the only thing I really hate Welsh Labour for, they rightly complained when the Tories didn’t pay our fair share, but now that Labour are in they never mention it.

3. Northern Powerhouse project is also England and Wales because Welsh travellers going to Leeds will benefit . FFS

   4bn GBP…. roughly total electrification, Carmarthen -Aberystwyth, Amlwch, Hirwaun and a host of other improvements.

4. _Despite having 5% of the UK population and 11% of track miles_

   Wales already has far more of its fair share of railway provision.

5. The Welsh Government refused rail devolution 18 years ago……FML.

6. So much to fix and so little patience.

7. Won’t North Wales Coast Line trains go down the rump HS2 if it ever finishes?
