I would see no problem with this, the name of the exact passenger services etc is unknown until they actually enter operation. I would however, as set out above, wish to retain the ongoing review in the lead as summary but then its full content further in the body as present. It remains relevant. The

Says TGV finance model will be adopted... We will see what materialises but it has been made clear it would not be possible to run HS2 trains all the way to Manchester on the WCML mainly for safety reasons. and the government would not let them slow down the already most congested railway in the UK.
824:
This has already all been discussed above. In any event, the Act for Phase 2a refers to such as HS2 and so does the Phase 2b Bill. This would not change. Andy Street also told the media that it is essentially the same route and how therefore could someone logically try to describe it as not HS2? HS2
1196:
It does not mention HS2, so phase 2 of HS2 remains canncelled. The WCML, ECML, MML are all high speed lines, falling into the definition. The bill says 'High Sped Rail', also mentions infrastructure relating to rail. Infrastructure can be 125mph High Speed Rail, or anything above, but not the HS2
744:
They have come to fruition because the Mayors have reported on this and have outlined the plans. They have even provided a map, which arguably should be included into the article for HS2. This is notwithstanding that they have stated they intend to give the exact details in the Summer. The review

territory, so best we draw a line under it at this stage. We can report as fact that "very high speed" track is funded, contracted and under construction between Old Oak Common and Birmingham Curzon St. Everything else is unfunded aspiration and may only be reported as such unless and until that

is the route and it remains relevant. It is highly unlikely that the private investment would simply drop out of the consortium. This leads to the inevitable conclusion that, as Andy Burnham also told media, this part of the HS2 route would be privately financed. It really is as simple as that.
1191:
Also in the King’s Speech was a commitment to repurpose the previous Conservative Government’s High Speed Rail (Crewe to Manchester) Bill to improve connectivity in the north of England. The Bill includes powers for infrastructure in Manchester and the surrounding area, including at Manchester
728:
I don't think an ongoing review or provisional report are significant enough to mention in the lead. If they lead to concrete plans to complete parts of phase 2 then that can be included in the lead, but as it stands we'd be giving undue significance to plans which may not come to fruition.
697:
report yet to come by the Mayors in Summer 2024 should shine further light on the true extent but the provisional report basically says Phase 2 will be paid for by private investment from Handsacre to Manchester Airport to then join NPR which will then be paid for by public investment.
1372:
Repeated and verifiable announcements by the previous and current governments have confirmed it is cancelled. Will the offending editors please accept this. Text in the article that the phase may be revived is inappropriate and just plain wishful thinking. The article does
895:
Also, it should be noted the government have still be buying land and buildings etc along the Phase 2 route (i.e. the part which the Mayors are going to be paying for privately) notwithstanding that route has been cancelled by the government.
967:
They can but they can't go as fast as Pendolinos, they are too long for the platforms and they won't fit into Manchester station as is. But apart from that, there's:s no problem. Well, other than the lack of budget or any means to raise it,
971:
But when the mist clears in the crystal ball, all that will be solved. Right now though, we must stick to what is real. Ambitions can and should certainly be described but we cannot imply that they have any more status than that.
790:
Concerning private developments, that would depend if it is described as part of HS2, should it be developed. If it isn't, then it shouldn't be here (aside a minor link to another article) even if it covered the same route.

Piccadilly and Airport stations, and the Government says carrying it over ‘demonstrates commitment to making progress on rail connectivity whilst we work with local leaders on improved overall strategy.’

Andy Burnham, addressing the board of Transport for the North, insisted that this proposal is not an attempt to revive HS2, saying "This is the son or daughter of HS2. It's not the same thing."--

I mean that would be stupid to believe because HS2 trains are unable to drive on conventional track which means it must be high speed rail to Manchester.

The principle is very simple. If the source says X, then we write X. We do not write X+Y+Z and cite that source as the basis for it. --

It seems unlikely that the two Andys' scheme would be able to build track to the same standard that is needed for high speed running.--

I don't think a map and good intentions are enough to make the plans firm enough to include in the lead, sorry.
