The latest news on plans to build a High Speed Rail link between London and the Midlands.
People who live close to, or in the path of the proposed high speed rail link between London and Birmingham say they feel trapped because they can't sell their homes. Many also feel the Government's proposals for compensation aren't good enough.
Meanwhile HS2 says the proposed route for phase 2 which goes through the East Midlands should be published early in the new year.
An influential group of MPs says the DfT has failed to present 'a convincing strategic case' for HS2.
Campaigners say they hope to put plans for HS2 through the Midlands back to square one as they prepare to go to the High Court tomorrow.
Campaigners from HS2 Action Alliance are heading to London tomorrow to take on the Government at the Court of Appeal.
