The latest news on plans to build a High Speed Rail link between London and the Midlands.
Nearly 300 people have attended an information event in Kenilworth about the controversial High Speed Rail project.
Among the speakers were HS2 Limited, the organisation behind the plans to build the rail link betwen London and the Midlands.
It is the first time it has engaged directly with people in the MIdlands who live along the proposed route.
Those affected were offered advice about how to sell their properties or claim for compensation.
An influential group of MPs says the DfT has failed to present 'a convincing strategic case' for HS2.
Campaigners say they hope to put plans for HS2 through the Midlands back to square one as they prepare to go to the High Court tomorrow.
Campaigners from HS2 Action Alliance are heading to London tomorrow to take on the Government at the Court of Appeal.
