London business leaders are backing Manchester's call for the RIGHT HS2 railway station at Piccadilly.
In a powerful show of support for the city region and the north, the influential London Chamber of Commerce and Industry said an underground through station at Piccadilly, instead of the proposed above ground station, was 'just what Britain needs to level up economic and financial opportunities'.
The chamber issued a statement today, Thursday, after a delegation from Manchester travelled to the capital to press home the case ahead of planned hearings of the High Speed Rail (Crewe-Manchester) Bill Select Committee next month. Councillor Bev Craig, leader of Manchester city council, and Manchester Central MP Lucy Powell are due to address the committee, among others.
