The latest news on plans to build a High Speed Rail link between London and the Midlands.
A protest march against the proposed HS2 trainline has been held in South Staffordshire.
People from the Colton and Kings Bromley areas walked ten miles of where the high speed railway line is planned to travel, carrying 73 balloons to represent the estimated £73 billion cost.
John Sadler, from the Kings Bromley Stop HS2 campaign group, said it would cause "devastation" to the countryside.
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.
