Rishi Sunak\u2019s decision to cancel the<\/p>\n

high-speed rail line from Birmingham to Manchester was a centrepiece of the PM\u2019s party conference speech.<\/p>\n

He said it would free up \u00a336billion for hundreds of new transport projects, with \u201cevery region receiving more investment than they would have done\u201d.<\/p>\n

However, construction of the HS2 line between Birmingham and Crewe was due to employ 6,500 people when the work was at its height in 2027-28, while 17,500 people were to be employed on the final phase of the project, the line from Crewe to Manchester, by 2030.<\/p>\n

Industry leaders say they will be forced to put recruitment plans on hold and may even be forced to cut existing staff.<\/p>\n

Plant hire firm L Lynch, which provides equipment such as excavators and dump trucks, is about to open a site in Solihull near Birmingham to help it provide services for phase one and two.<\/p>\n

Director Rob Lynch said: \u201cThe Solihull site was a major investment, absolutely built with phase two in mind.<\/p>\n

\u201cA lot of the money from HS2 projects flows into sub-contractors and suppliers like ourselves that are typically family-owned businesses, and that money goes into our workforce and the supply chain. The benefits of this project to the construction industry have been massive.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Rail Industry Association, which represents 350 businesses in the supply chain, is calling on the Government<\/p>\n

to ensure the northern section can be resurrected at a future date.<\/p>\n

Policy director Robert Cook said: \u201cA lot of our members are looking hard at the implications for their workforce.\u201d<\/p>\n

But hopes that Labour will announce plans to reverse the decision at its annual conference this week are likely to be dashed. A party source said: \u201cThe implications of the Government\u2019s announcement are huge. We need to consider them in detail, but we\u2019re not going to make any promises we can\u2019t keep.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Department for Transport has already announced plans to sell off<\/p>\n

11.79 sq km of land, including 824 properties, which were acquired for the northern route at a cost of \u00a3563million.<\/p>\n
