In 2009-10, there was indeed positive cross-party support and the LibDems had some influence over the Tories' transport policy in the 2010-15 coalition.And yet it had cross party support?
The coalition also got the massive CP5 investment in electrification and in Crossrail.
Since 2015 the Tory backbenchers have had everything their own Nimby-ish way, despite continuing front bench and Labour support.
Parliament in general also seemed hostile to the developments at Euston, and who can blame them after massive demolition and disruption, with nothing to show for it other than a new LU traction substation.
There's plenty of blame heaped on HS2 Ltd, but they are a creature of the government just like Network Rail now is.
