- - - - A lot of abandoned old industrial sites,
      - Low achievement at school in terms of GCSE points score
      - Industrial wastelands
      - Higher than average unemployment than the rest of London and the UK
      - Higher deprivation and poverty for the people that lived there
      - Lower household incomes then the London average
- - - - Some argue other rail lines such as the east to west line are in greater need of more investment.
      - HS2 will become a national asset and celebrated engineering achievement, much like the Olympic Park project.
      - More than 600 homes will be demolished and 340 homes cut off from their wider neighbourhood to make way for the train track.
      - Fewer people will fly from London to Manchester if HS2 can get them there quicker
      - HS2 will free up capacity on other commuter rail networks.
      - Other major european countries have lots of high speed rail links e.g. Spain, France, Germany
    - - HS2 would created 22,000 construction jobs over the next five years. Once the entire line is running it could create 100,000 jobs.
      - Companies constructing HS2 will be required by law to train engineering apprentices.
      - The project is expected to cost £42.6bn of taxpayers money.
      - HS2 when complete would reduce the amount of car and lorry journeys on the roads.
      - It will help bridge the North-South Divide by connecting major northern cities, creating jobs in Manchester and Leeds.
      - HS2 will encourage more trips to London but will not help travel between northern cities of liverpool, Newcastle and leeds. + -
    - - The full network would concrete an area the size of Manchester. -
      - A £500 million tunnel would be built through the Chilterns affecting an area of natural beauty. -
      - Over 130 protected wildlife sites will have to be relocated to make way for the train line. -
      - HS2 constructors have promised to plant 2 million trees along the proposed HS2 rail line. +
