This is complete b*ll*cks. These are the people who've just crippled the future of UK railfreight by cancelling the sections of #hs2 that provide the capacity freight needs. They have no shame.

Today, as part of this Government’s ambitious rail reform agenda, we’ve set a target to grow freight by at least 75% by 2050. We want more freight to travel by rail and the industry plays a huge role in growing the economy, reducing emissions and cutting congestion on our roads.
