London railway journey to be cut by half-hour

HIGH-speed rail will cut journey times from Glasgow to London by 30 minutes, even if the new track is laid only as far as Manchester.

The UK Government will today announce a new Y-shape route for the controversial HS2 project from Birmingham to Manchester and Leeds.

Last night, sources were predicting the Glasgow-to-London journey was achievable in three hours and 38 minutes, down from four hours and eight minutes.
