Birmingham High-speed Rail Link // March 9th, 2010 // Constituency News
Gisela Stuart and Steve McCabe met with Transport Secretary Lord Adonis to lobby for an early decision on the High Speed Rail Link for Birmingham.
Both MPs stressed that this is a vital part of the Midlands strategic transport structure, essential for jobs and economic growth.
To have Birmingham linked to London and Paris would mean getting from Broad Street in Birmingham to Oxford Road in London in three quarters of an hour. The decision is vital for jobs in Birmingham and the West Midlands. 10.000 jobs for construction, 2000 permanent jobs and up to 60,000 jobs in the Region..
“We have successfully fought for New Street station to be rebuilt, and now together with Highspeed link we need a rebuilt Curzon Street Highspeed Rail link station, which does justice to Birmingham.” Said Gisela Stuart
“This shouldn’t be a party political football. They council needs to pull its finger out and get the Tory frontbenchers in London to get a move on and fight for Birmingham” says Steve McCabe.
