The latest news on plans to build a High Speed Rail link between London and the Midlands.
MPs have criticised the government's plans for HS2 - the new high speed rail line that'll link the Midlands with London and the north. They say costs keep going up - but the benefits of HS2 aren't clear. Phil Hornby reports.
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.
