    The parliamentary spending watchdog report criticizes the UK government for not understanding how the reduced HS2 high-speed rail project will function as planned. The report says cancelling the northern leg raises questions about costs and benefits. It finds the remaining London-Birmingham section of HS2 will provide very poor value for money given rising costs. The impacts of the cancellation decision on other rail projects and purchased land remain unknown.

    T he cancellation of the northern leg of HS2 has raised “urgent


    unanswered questions” and the government does not yet
    understand how the £67bn high-speed railway will now function,
    according to a scathing report from parliament’s spending watchdog.
    The remaining London-Birmingham line will be “very poor value for
    money”, the public accounts committee of MPs said, with costs now
    forecast to significantly outweigh the benefits.

    remained unknown, including the impact on other promised rail
