Will our trains ever not be a joke?

In this episode, Mollie and Daniel discuss the biggest headline that came out of the Conservative Party Conference in Manchester last week — the scrapping of the Manchester leg of HS2. How much of a big deal is this for Manchester, and what's the situation on our existing, not so high-speed, railways?Many thanks to the Great Northern Craft Fair for sponsoring this episode.
