英伦广角 2014-06-28 英国考虑在曼城和利兹间修建高速铁路HS3（在线收听）

 If you look at the HS2 plan at the moment, the 50 billion link is designed to go between London and Birmingham，it was a first stage before creating a Y shape network with lines up to Manchester and Leeds. 2032 to 33 that should be ready, but you can see the logic of linking Manchester and Leeds together, that is what the chanceller is talking about.In part, it is about to reinforce the idea that HS2 is going to happen, so we need to think about the future and even beyond it; it is about saying that HS2 is designed to benifit not only just London and the Southeast which obviously have been performing very strongly economically over the past month, but also the great cities of North England that he is going to say in this speech: don't punch their weight collectively as they might. And this sort of High-speed link is designed to ensure that in what is a rater dim distant future, that happens acutally  rather better.
