Once it gets to Birmingham it will be canned due to un-affordable cost ,if it was in any way designed to help the north it would start in the north.

But then what could improve travel to/from Cleethorpes?
HS2 isn't just about London to Birmingham. It's also about relieving the pressure on the other destinations on the current routes between those 2 places. All the passengers that travel between London and Birmingham would no longer affect London/Birmingham to Milton Keynes, Rugby, Coventry, etc.
It all depends on the level of demand for direct routes, London-Birmingham, Birmingham-Manchester, etc.
