The bit that is still going ahead (according to Rishi) is the Handsacre/Birmingham Curzon Street to Old Oak Common stretch of phase 1, with the Old Oak Common to Euston bit the subject of some funding issues, before it can also be confirmed.As far as I know it is only the Birmingham to Manchester bit that has been cancelled, the London to Birmingham stretch is still going ahead (at least for the moment)

The Handsacre (not Birmingham) to Manchester bit is the phase 2 bit that has been cancelled and the eastern bit has long been consigned to history, as has HS3 (Manchester-Bradford-Leeds).
