The High Speed Rail (Crewe - Manchester) Bill was a proposed act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom. It was introduced as a Hybrid Bill by Grant Shapps (Secretary of State for Transport).
The bill's original aim was to authorise rail works for HS2 Phase 2 between Crewe and Manchester. It was paused under the Sunak ministry, pending the review into Phase 2 following the Government's cancellation of Phase 2 in 2023.
The bill was re-introduced in the 2024-25 session by Louise Haigh (Secretary of State for Transport), on 25 July 2024, with the intention of repurposing it to instead provide powers to construct other rail lines in the north of England.
