Shadow minister Pat McFadden says its policy on high speed rail will be set out in the party's manifesto.
- says the party would "deliver Northern Powerhouse Rail and High Speed 2 in full, unlocking billions in economic growth, creating decent jobs, slashing journey times and increasing capacity".
Asked if Labour would keep the pledge to deliver HS2 in full, Mr McFadden said: "We want to see the railway being built, it looks as though the government is now putting a question mark over this, there may be revised costs to that. "What we are going to end up with here is in the southern half of the country, a modern, high-speed rail network, and the northern half of the country left with crumbling Victorian infrastructure.
