Transport Twitter told you all this is what would happen, but loads of you decided to believe the NIMBYs instead. Still want to believe #HS2 was “only about saving 20 mins to get to Birmingham”?

Scoop: HS2 cancellation will mean fares increase between London and the north to reduce travellers amid capacity problems. There will be 8% fewer seats on future trains after the high-speed line was scrapped, and prices are set to go up to reduce demand
