An urgent rethink of plans to bring HS2 to Manchester has been called for by leaders in Greater Manchester.
Formal petitions are set to be submitted to the Government by authorities that raise the changes they believe are vital for HS2 - and Northern Powerhouse Rail (NPR) - to be a success for the North.
They have called for changes including an underground station at Manchester Piccadilly rather than the Government’s proposed overground solution.
