Transport bosses have been accused of "cutting off Manchester's ambition", after plans for an underground HS2 station at Piccadilly were shelved.
Labour's shadow transport secretary Louise Haigh blasted the decision, saying the North is being left to "pick up the scraps" while investment is ploughed into rail in London and the South East.
Ms Haigh backed the MEN's campaign, which is calling on the Government not to botch one of the most important transport projects ever to be built in the north of England.
