U.K. Transport Secretary Patrick McLoughlin said the building of a high-speed rail line between London and the north of England will not suck investment from other transport projects.
The line, known as HS2, will make Britain stronger, McLoughlin said in a speech to the Conservative Party’s annual conference in Manchester, one of the northern cities the line will reach. He dismissed the “moaning” of London-based critics.
