    A controversial high-speed rail line between London and Birmingham will be given the go-ahead by Transport Secretary Justine Greening next week.

    The biggest rail project in over a century will cut the journey time between Britain’s two biggest cities from one hour 24 minutes to just 49 minutes.

    The 100-mile, 250mph link will eventually be extended to north-west and north-east England and on to Scotland, bringing Britain’s creaking rail infrastructure up to the level of other major economies such as those of Japan and France.
