Description
Residents of Manchester react ahead of the British Prime Minister's conference speech, in which he announced the cancellation of the northern section of a massive high-speed rail project, HS2. "Everything is on the wrong trajectory," says economist and resident Nicola Headlum. For university professor Hans Degens, the move is fair only "if the money is then subsequently being used to improve the railway line to Leeds". IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
