The North’s leaders have called on the government to urgently publish a long-term plan for the region’s railways, to give essential certainty on investment and delivery of major projects.
Through Transport for the North (TfN), the region’s political and business leaders say the government must publish the Integrated Rail Plan (IRP) for the North and Midlands as soon as possible to avoid delays to delivery of schemes including Northern Powerhouse Rail and HS2 in the North.
