Very strongly agree

Yes, and extend it to Scotland

The SNP strongly supports extending the high-speed rail network to Scotland. They have consistently argued that HS2 should not stop at Birmingham but should continue to Scotland to ensure that the benefits of the project are shared across the UK. In 2016, the SNP's Westminster Transport spokesperson, Drew Hendry MP, called for the UK Government to commit to extending HS2 to Scotland.

Agree

No, we should improve existing rail networks instead

While the SNP has not explicitly called for improving existing rail networks instead of constructing HS2, they have expressed concerns about the project's cost and potential negative impact on Scotland's economy if it does not extend to Scotland. Their main focus has been on extending the high-speed rail network to Scotland, but they may be open to alternative solutions that improve rail connectivity between Scotland and the rest of the UK.
