Description
The Mayor of Greater Manchester, Andy Burhnam, accuses the Conservative Party of treating the people of Greater Manchester and the north of England as "second-class citizens when it comes to transport". His comments come after widespread reports in the British media alleged the government is close to announcing the cancellation of the HS2 high speed rail link between Birmingham and Manchester. Martin Miller, a Conservative supporter, says "Nobody's convinced me yet why we actually needed it." IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
