A timetable has been laid outNeil Lancefield, Will Meakin-Durrant and Abbie Llewelyn, Press Association and Dave Knapper West Midlands Content Editor14:56, 19 May 2026The cost of HS2 has shot up(Image: PA)High-speed trains between London and Staffordshire won’t be running for at least another 14 years. The announcement comes as Transport Secretary Heidi Alexander has announced the HS2 project could end up costing more than £100 billion.The Cabinet minister told the Commons she was “angry” about the “obscene increase in time and costs”, which she blamed on “the failures of successive Conservative governments”. She said the expected cost of completing the high-speed railway was between £87.7 billion and £102.7 billion (in 2025 prices).That means it will be more expensive than the Artemis II mission to send four astronauts to the Moon, which is estimated to have cost 93 billion US dollars to date (£69 billion). Constructing HS2 from London to Birmingham – plus the now abandoned onward legs to Leeds and Manchester – was initially estimated to cost £32.7 billion (in 2011 prices), but the budget has spiralled.Services were planned to launch in 2026, but the new target schedule is between May 2036 and October 2039. Ms Alexander also announced that HS2 trains will run slower than planned to save money.She said the maximum speed of services will be 320km/h (199mph), down from the original design of 360km/h (224mph). She branded the previous plans a “massively over-specced folly, with the prospect of the fastest trains anywhere in the world tickling the fancy of Conservative ministers”.Services will still be among “the fastest trains in Europe” despite the top speed being cut, she told MPs. Ms Alexander said the cost increase is mostly because of “past misunderstanding of the work required, underestimation and inefficiency, issues within the control of HS2 Ltd, some of its suppliers, and previous governments”.HS2 services between Old Oak Common in west London and Birmingham’s Curzon Street station are expected to start running between May 2036 and October 2039.Meanwhile in Staffordshire and the high-speed trains will not run between Euston station in central London and Handsacre Junction – which sits between Rugeley and King’s Bromley – until between May 2040 and December 2043. Handsacre Junction is where HS2 trains are planned to leave the dedicated high-speed tracks and merge onto the conventional West Coast Mainline.Ms Alexander said the overall budget includes work at Euston, but the Government was still seeking a private investor for the site. The revised cost and schedule for HS2 follows a comprehensive review by HS2 Ltd chief executive Mark Wild, who began his role in December 2024.A major review published following the announcement found that “gold plating” HS2, including by focusing on achieving the “highest possible speeds”, is among the faults that contributed to the project’s woes. Sir Stephen Lovegrove, the former national security adviser, criticised the “original sins” in the decision-making behind the scheme.Labour ministers commissioned an internal review into whether scrapping the entire project would be better value for money than continuing with it. This found that abandoning the scheme – which has already cost an estimated £40 billion – would cost at least as much as completing it.Get daily headlines and breaking news emailed to you – it’s FREEEnsure our latest headlines always appear at the top of your Google Search

Liverpool gets Man City 115 charges update as lawyer gives new verdict
Sports lawyer Tom Murray believes Manchester City will be found in breach of at least some of the 115 Premier League charges against the club, but he warns a final outcome could still be more than two years away14:53, 19 May 2026Updated 14:56, 19 May 2026Manchester City is still waiting for the outcome of the charges made against the club(Image: Getty Images)Manchester City is anticipated to be found guilty of breaching at least some of the 115 charges brought against the club by the Premier League, though a final verdict could still be more than two years away, according to sports lawyer Tom Murray.The founding partner of the ‘Three Points’ law firm expects the process to remain protracted, further complicated by the appeals procedure. Liverpool fans are keen to discover the outcome of the case, as any hypothetical punishment for City — such as a points deduction or the stripping of titles — could impact the Reds and other Premier League clubs.City stands accused of violating financial regulations across a nine-year period dating back to 2009. The investigation was launched in 2019 and encompasses allegations of financial reporting irregularities and of non-cooperation with inquiries. City denies any wrongdoing.READ MORE: Liverpool fans hit out after Mohamed Salah jersey spotted in new kit launchREAD MORE: Liverpool fans have same Arne Slot message for club after seeing new 2026/27 kitThe hearing commenced in September 2024 and spanned 10 weeks, yet all parties remain awaiting a ruling.The sheer volume of charges and gravity of the allegations appear to have contributed to the lengthy wait for a decision, with the case representing uncharted territory in English soccer.Murray reckons the sheer volume of allegations means Manchester City will ultimately be found guilty of something.Liverpool fans are waiting to discover the outcome of the case(Image: Getty Images)Yet, despite ongoing chatter about when a verdict might be delivered, Murray refrained from offering a timeline, having consulted with those involved in the proceedings.”I don’t think anyone knows,” Murray told the ‘Price of Football’ podcast. “I’ve spoken to barristers working on the case, and even they don’t know when the decision will be released. As much as I would like to speculate, I think it would be pointless.”What do I think the outcome is going to be? I think Manchester City are going to be found liable, in breach of something. With the number of charges there are I don’t think they are going to get away with this.”But this is going to be strung out for as long as possible and I think we can expect an appeal and we’ll be back in the same position. In two years’ time, it wouldn’t be surprising if we still don’t have a final outcome.”By contrast, Stefan Borson, who previously advised City on financial matters, anticipates a decision “quite soon.”He’s even suggested it could land before the campaign concludes. “I think it’s coming quite soon, but then we have said that before, right?” he said. “My best guess and the kind of feeling in the parties is that it will come at the end of the season.”June would be most likely, that’s the feeling. There’s no justification now from a kind of how long it takes to write this up, there’s no justification now.”This is now ridiculous territory. 18 months to write up a decision in a private arbitration is clearly ridiculous. There’s been little things that I’ve heard that would signify that we are coming to the end of the process of writing it up.”
Accelerating AI Conference 2026 set to bring leaders and innovators to Milton Keynes – Znewsservice.com
The Accelerating AI Conference 2026 will return to Milton Keynes on Tuesday 9 June 2026, convening business leaders, technology specialists, public sector partners and regional support organisations to examine how artificial intelligence can be adopted in practical, responsible and commercially viable ways.
Taking place at The Ridgeway Centre, Wolverton Mill, the half-day conference will focus on real-world AI adoption for businesses across Milton Keynes, Bedfordshire, Northamptonshire and the wider South Midlands.The event will open with networking from 8:30am, with the main conference programme beginning at 9:00am and concluding at 2:00pm.
Delivered with the support of a broad group of regional partners, speakers and business organisations, the conference is designed to move beyond the hype around AI and give attendees useful, actionable insight into where the technology is already creating value.
Partners and contributors include the South Midlands Growth Hub, Milton Keynes City Council, the British Business Bank, the University of Bedfordshire, techUK, Business MK, and speakers from businesses including Fliweel.tech, Qoob, Dragon IS, Zoho UK and Smart City Consultancy.
Accelerating AI Conference 2026 is aimed at business owners, senior leaders, marketing teams, operational decision-makers and SMEs that want to better understand how AI can support productivity, innovation, customer experience and growth.
The programme will explore how AI is changing day-to-day business operations, from automation and digital employees to Microsoft Copilot, AI-led marketing, autonomous robotics, regional business support, public sector adoption and access to finance.
Confirmed speakers include Andy Paul, Founder and CEO of Fliweel.tech, who will explore how AI agents are evolving into operational digital workers; Matthew Rigby-White, Managing Director at Qoob, who will discuss how businesses can build marketing teams that work effectively alongside AI; and Lionel Naidoo, Managing Director of Dragon IS, who will examine Microsoft Copilot, agents and the opportunity for every organisation.
The line-up also includes Robert Simpson, Director of Business Development at Zoho UK; Ian Pulford, Director at Smart City Consultancy and Head of Ohmio UK; Lisa Beckett, Head of Customer, Data and Insight at Milton Keynes City Council; Lewis Stringer from the British Business Bank; Dr Ed Braund from the University of Bedfordshire; and Usman Ikhlaq, Programme Manager for Artificial Intelligence at techUK.

This year’s conference is expected to welcome more than 150 guests to The Ridgeway Centre, one of Milton Keynes’ prominent event venues.
Speaking ahead of the event, Matthew Rigby-White, Managing Director at Qoob and one of the event’s co-organisers and speakers, said: “AI is moving quickly, but many businesses are still trying to understand what it means for them in practical terms. This conference is about bringing together people who are already applying AI across different sectors, so attendees can hear what is working now, what is coming next and how to take sensible, confident steps forward.
“What makes the event valuable is the mix of perspectives. It is not just about one company or one technology. It is about connecting businesses with practical examples, regional support, funding guidance and people who can help them turn interest in AI into action.”
Alongside speaker sessions and expert insight, attendees will have the opportunity to connect with regional support organisations and learn more about funding, advisory services and growth programmes available to SMEs.
The South Midlands Growth Hub will share guidance on funded support available across Bedfordshire, Milton Keynes and Northamptonshire, including 1:1 advisory support, specialist programmes, Network & Learn events and information on the next round of grant funding due to open in July 2026.
The British Business Bank will also be represented, offering insight into access to finance and investment support for smaller businesses across the region.
Representatives from Milton Keynes City Council, the University of Bedfordshire and techUK will contribute perspectives on public sector AI adoption, regional innovation, research, skills and the wider national technology landscape.

Park visitors slam ‘extremely harsh’ enforcement as new machines installed
A spokesperson for the country park said that the new machines are ‘quicker’ and “easier to use”Milton Country Park(Image: Amy Britton/CambridgeshireLive)A Cambridgeshire country park has installed a new parking machine after customers complained about an “extremely harsh” system. Milton Country Park, situated just outside of Cambridge, has recently announced a new parking system “following lots of customer feedback”.Visitors claim to have had received unfair fines from the previous system. One person wrote: “While the park itself is lovely, the parking enforcement is incredibly harsh. It’s a popular spot for families with young children, but the management shows zero leniency – staying even a minute past your paid time results in a £60 fine.”Another stated: “Great park but horrible parking process. App is truly awful and machine gets busy. You can lose the first 15 minutes just trying to pay, and time starts the moment you enter the car park, not pay.”A review on Tripadvisor said: “Whilst the park itself was fine, the main issue was the parking. I paid for two hours and left within that time, however, around 10 days later I received a parking fine claiming I had underpaid – which I hadn’t.”The customer appealed the charge but claimed it was rejected. They said that because they had paid in cash, they had no evidence and ended up paying the fine.A spokesperson for Milton Country Park said: “Following lots of customer feedback about the parking machine in our car park, we’re pleased to let you know that we have removed the old machine and have now installed two brand-new machines with a much simpler pay-on-exit system.”They added: “The new machines are easier to use, quicker, and designed to make parking more convenient for everyone. Thank you to everyone who took time to share their feedback – we really appreciate it and are always looking at ways to improve your experience with us.”The country park offers visitors a large green space and outdoor activities including paddle sports and open water swimming. The site contains a cafe, playground, bike track, woodland, and lakes.Describing the site itself, one visitor said that is is an “incredible place to relax and enjoy with family and dogs”. Another described it as the “most beautiful park” they had ever visited.

Welsh seaside town looking forward to welcoming more Scousers
We took the first ever train service from Liverpool to Llandudno, taking the opportunity to explore its attractions, and speak to some of the locals about what it means for the town00:01, 19 May 2026View of Llandudno beach(Image: Liverpool ECHO)People from a seaside town in North Wales say they are looking forward to welcoming more Scousers, after a new train service from Liverpool to Llandudno launched on Monday (May 18), creating a direct link for those looking to travel between the two destinations.To mark the occasion, the ECHO booked a ticket for the first service from Liverpool Lime Street Station, catching the 6.46am train to Llandudno, and taking the opportunity to explore its attractions, and speak to some of the locals about what it means for the town.It comes less than a year after Liverpool City Region Mayor Steve Rotheram, and then First Minister of Wales, Eluned Morgan, met at Llandudno Junction railway station to discuss improved rail links, along with the chair of Transport for Wales, Vernon Everitt.In October, Mayor Rotheram said: “The Liverpool City Region and North Wales share deep historic, economic and cultural ties, and improved transport links will only strengthen that partnership in the future.Llandudno train station(Image: Liverpool ECHO)“Creating better connections across the North West and into North Wales is a key part of our vision for a more joined-up, more productive economy.”In terms of the impact on Llandudno, the benefits of this new partnership came up in several conversations we had on our visit, particularly among small business owners dependent on the visitor economy – similar in that regard to seaside towns across the UK, including New Brighton and Southport here in Merseyside.The budget-friendly Welsh town has been hugely popular with generations of Merseyside families, but it’s hoped the new direct transport link will increase visitor numbers from Liverpool, and also incentivise more people to travel from North Wales into the city region.These sentiments were shared by Mike, 55, who has run The Welsh Rock Shop since 1995, a confectionary store on Mostyn Street in Llandudno town centre.As a result of the new train service, Mike anticipates increased tourism from Liverpool, benefiting both locals and visitors. He said: “It’s fantastic for everyone, and I can only see it being a good thing.”We used to get a lot of day-trippers coming on the coaches, but they’re becoming more and more expensive. Then there were regulars coming down from Liverpool and the Wirral, but who’ve said they haven’t come as much because of fuel prices.Mike, 55, has run The Welsh Rock Shop since 1995(Image: Liverpool ECHO)”But with a train going straight through to both places every day, it’s much easier for people to come and less expensive. Then there’s the other aspect which is people from here getting to go to Liverpool for a day out too, so it works both ways.”We go to the game [at Anfield] quite a bit, so it’ll be good for us to have an alternative to driving up, and maybe have a couple of drinks in Liverpool for a change.”Across the road from the rock shop is Dave, who owns The Habit, a family-run café and coffee shop, after taking it on from his mum a few years back. Dave is excited about the prospect of more people coming to Llandudno, especially for the general prosperity of the town.He said: “Anything that brings people here is a good thing, because high streets across the UK are suffering, businesses are moving out to the outskirts, so it’s more and more difficult for people to make a living.”Llandudno has so much going for it, and I hope the new train will be an added boost to all the other things going on here.”Dave owns the family-run Habit café and coffee shop after taking it on from his mum a few years back(Image: Liverpool ECHO)One visitor loved Llandudno so much he decided set up home permanently. Richard Cleary, 73, moved from London to Wales several years ago, and told us he enjoys the sense of calm around the town, adding: “You can see how well preserved the architecture and buildings are.”It’s a wonderful location, and there’s plenty of things for people to do. Speaking of which, I’m off to walk around the Orme, which is magnificent and presents incredible views of the coastline.”One of Llandudno’s most popular sites is the Great Orme, which is a limestone headland rising 200 metres above the sea. Visitors can walk to the top, or use the Great Orme Tramway.Great Orme Tramway in Llandudno(Image: Liverpool ECHO)The Great Orme is also famous for being home to a herd of goats who live on the rocks. On occasion, visitors may find one or two of those goats venturing into the town centre.To travel up, you can use the tramway located on Church Walks, which has been around for more than 100 years, and after being lovingly restored, people can enjoy travelling in its original tramcars.Near the bottom of Church Walks, we come across Gail who runs Mostyn House B&B with her husband Mick. They moved to Llandudno four years ago and set up the business after falling in love with the town over the course of several visits.Gail said: “We originally took it on as a guest house, and then we’ve expanded with the tea room as well.”I was a hairdresser for 40 years and used to holiday here for about 20 years. We eventually decided to take the leap and set up a home and a business here, and it’s worked out brilliantly.Gail runs Mostyn House B&B with her husband Mick(Image: Liverpool ECHO)”The new train will only make things better. We get people from international places, and we do have people from Liverpool, but if there’s a train service, it’ll make it a lot easier, and we hope more people from Liverpool will come down now.”Llandudno suits all ages, it’s not just for old people as it was years ago. There’s a lot of young families coming in now, and all sorts of people from different cultures, it’s a nice mix, and there’s many things to see and do.”Just being on the prom and seeing all the façades of all the old Victorian buildings, there’s a lot of history here, nice shops, it’s gorgeous really.”Llandudno also has twin West and North Shore beaches, with West Shore Beach much quieter than Llandudno’s North Shore. The beaches are perfect for a relaxing walk, or some family-friendly fun on the coast.Eira Pritchard runs a gift shop on Llandudno Pier(Image: Liverpool ECHO)Llandudno Pier, which is the longest pier in Wales, was originally built in 1876 but still remains a popular attraction with families. Visitors can stop for ice cream, or visit an arcade.As we walk down towards the beach, we meet Eira Pritchard who runs a gift shop on Llandudno Pier. She said: “The summer season is starting now, but when we have a day off, we’ll be using the train as well and definitely taking a trip to Liverpool.”We do have a lot of people from Liverpool coming down here, in couples or as families. If it’s a nice day, people are on the beach having picnics, or they take a walk along the pier, which is a big thing for all of us.”There’s a lot going on here, and now, fingers crossed, we’ll be getting a lot more people from Liverpool down here as well.”

Opera North has announced complete casting for The Sound of Music, which opens in July.
The show will be led by the previously revealed Katie Bird alongside Edward Bennett, taking on the roles of Maria and Captain von Trapp respectively.
The Rodgers and Hammerstein musical will run from 9 July to 1 August at Leeds Grand Theatre, with a press night scheduled for Thursday 9 July at 7pm.
The production is based on Curve’s staging, which premiered in Leicester at the end of 2025, and will feature the chorus and 40-piece orchestra of Opera North.
It is directed by Nikolai Foster, while the creative team also includes WhatsOnStage Award-nominated set and costume designer Michael Taylor, lighting designer Mark Henderson and choreographer Ebony Molina. Oliver Rundell serves as musical director, with Ollie Khurshid as associate director and Dale White as associate choreographer, with casting consultant Becky Paris.
Joining Bennett and Bird in the cast are Katherine Broderick as Mother Abbess, Abigail Sinclair and April Perrott sharing the role of Liesl von Trapp, Kamil Bień as Rolf Gruber, Amy Freston as Baroness Elsa Schraeder, Nicholas Butterfield as Max Detweiler, Molly Barker-Knowles as Sister Berthe, Hannah Mason as Sister Margaretta, Gillene Butterfield as Sister Sophia, Dean Robinson as Franz, Claire Pascoe as Frau Schmidt, Ivan Sharpe as Herr Zeller, Tim Ochala-Greenough as Admiral von Schreiber, Graham Russell as Baron Elberfeld and Helen Évora as Baroness Elberfeld.
Featuring music by Richard Rodgers, lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II and a book by Howard Lindsay and Russel Crouse, The Sound of Music premiered on Broadway in 1959 before being adapted into the Oscar-winning 1965 film starring Julie Andrews and Christopher Plummer.
Accessible performances during the Leeds run will include captioned, British Sign Language interpreted and audio described performances with touch tours.
Opera North is also offering £10 tickets for under-30s, alongside £22 tickets through the theatre’s Secret Seats scheme.
Cambridge student breaks fidget spinner world record with 30-minute spin
James Goh, 23, a Queens’ College engineering student at Cambridge University, broke the Guinness World Record for the longest fidget spinner durationCambridge University of engineering student James Goh has set the world record for the longest duration spinning a fidget spinner on one finger(Image: Cambridge University /PA Wire)A Cambridge University engineering student has broken the world record for the longest duration spinning a fidget spinner on one finger – clocking 30 minutes 34.54 seconds.James Goh, 23, constructed his own fidget spinner to secure the Guinness World Records title, surpassing the previous record by nearly five minutes. He was at school when the popular children’s toys swept the globe in 2017.”This has been a hobby of mine since I was a kid, so I’m delighted to get the record – although my finger did ache a little bit after holding it in the same position for so long,” he said. “I suppose in a way I’ve taken the fidget out of fidget spinning!”His achievement is approximately 20 times longer than a standard spinner purchased from a shop. He established the record in Hong Kong, where he lives when not studying at university in Cambridge, on December, 16 2025. James said his fascination with gyroscopes started when he watched the spinning top in Christopher Nolan’s 2010 sci-fi film Inception.As part of their degree programme, Cambridge engineering students examine the physics of gyroscopes, which are vital components used in everything from smartphones to spacecraft navigation systems. The Queens’ College student applied his learning, particularly in aerodynamics and tribology – the science of friction – to enhance his hobby.”People do often ask me why I’m so interested in spinning tops and fidget spinners,” he said. “There’s definitely something hypnotic about them and their mechanical efficiency is pretty remarkable. I also think it’s got a lot to do with being competitive; it’s a very interesting optimisation problem because the goal keeps shifting.James made the fidget spinner himself(Image: Cambridge University /PA Wire)”There are always new materials or techniques to use to tweak the design – there are always improvements that can be made.”James – who is studying on the Manufacturing Engineering Tripos, an option available during the final two years of a Cambridge engineering degree – drew upon academic papers to guide his experiments and help determine the Guinness World Record-breaking formula.He initially developed his formula for spinning tops, before applying it to engineer his “pulsar fidget spinner” and establish the new record.”It involves a lot of data collection to come up with 3D models, which I then make in the workshop,” he said.”Differential equations have helped me a lot to refine the formula, although there is no actual analytical solution, because technically it’s unsolvable. There’s no magical, optimal spinning time, but you can get close to it.”The centre of James’s spinner is constructed from lightweight hollow aluminium, while tungsten – an exceptionally dense metal – is concentrated around the edges to store kinetic energy.This means all the weight sits on the outside – generating a “high moment of inertia” – and enabling it to spin for an extended period. He said: “Designing a spinner is basically about three things: maximising the energy you start with, minimising the energy you end with and transitioning between those two states as slowly as possible, so you’re losing energy as slowly as possible. The tricky thing is that these factors are all in conflict with each other, and in a really complicated way.”
