WCML investment
Source: Mike
Whilst supporting HS2 as a long-term development, I have to partly agree with the CBI Director General. The West Coast Main Line does need further investment, particularly north of Crewe which should have four tracks between Winsford and Hartford and then Acton Bridge to Weaver Junction. There could also be future requirement for additional quadrupling between Wigan and Preston.
