Firstly there absolutely would be an advantage to people living in Carlisle as it would significantly reduce journey times to London.

Secondly saying "this project doesn't directly benefit me, living in this part of the world" is such parochial bullshit.

Shit like this makes me furious.
I live in Carlisle

There was never any advantage to Carlisle from HS2

What we need in Carlisle is better access to Newcastle and also better access out west to Whitehaven

What we don't need is huge extra taxation to pour into concrete and steel south of Birmingham with no end in sight
