An MP has described planned works to connect the HS2 rail network in Manchester which would partially suspend tram services to Ashton as ‘disastrous for Tameside’.
Andrew Gwynne, the MP for Denton and Reddish has criticised proposals contained within the new HS2 Bill laid before Parliament this week.
The Bill confers the powers required to construct a part of the second phase of High Speed 2, with the aim of linking Crewe to Manchester with a new railway line.
