Hot on the heels of our success with the study into a new Cheadle railway station comes news of High Speed Rail to Manchester.

I have to say that this is even earlier in the process: the Government haven’t given their view and there are probably all sorts of barriers in the way of the estimated £34 billion to build the high speed line from London to Scotland, via Birmingham and Manchester.

But we can dream!  Maybe in a few years time I’ll be able to step onto a train in Gatley or Cheadle and be in London an hour and  a half later.  That’s about as long as it takes to get from Gatley to Liverpool by train today.

Manchester to London in 1 hour 6 minutes – it would be nice.
