People in the original railway town react to plans the high speed line will stop north of Birmingham.
One of the biggest casualties of the canned northern HS2 project is Crewe - a town promised so much but which now looks set to have little delivered. The BBC visited the original railway town to see how people were reacting to Rishi Sunak's announcement earlier this week.She has lived in the town for 50 years. Like many of her generation, her father drove trains that passed through Crewe, one of the main stations on the Grand Junction Railway.
After the northern leg of the multi-billion pound project was culled by the prime minister in Manchester this week, the hopes of thousands of HS2 jobs, brighter prospects for Crewe's younger generation and thousands of new homes lay in tatters.Tony and Coleen Axford said they stayed in Crewe because of how easy it was to travel around the UK
"It was sold as a piece of infrastructure, so it's not just about people being transported it's about goods," he says. "If the government put some more attention on Crewe I think it'd be better...if the low income group had better jobs, they'd settle here," Reshma says.The Department for Transport said it will focus on improving the station for the conventional network
