The government is launching a review of high-speed rail link HS2 - with a go or no-go^ decision by the end of the year, the Transport Secretary Grant Shapps has said.
It will consider whether and how the project to connect London, the Midlands and northern England should proceed.
Billions have already been spent, but Mr Shapps refused to rule out scrapping it entirely.
He said it was ^responsible^ to see whether the benefits really ^stack up^.
