I warmly welcome the news that we will finally get Northern Powerhouse Rail, and the news that it is starting in Yorkshire is historic.

Labour revives Northern Powerhouse Rail project with pledge of £45bn funds Plan will start with TransPennine upgrade with new line connecting Liverpool and Manchester in second phase

This is very welcome. Travelling round the country at the moment it's noticeable how poor east-west services in the north are. It's a shame these things take so long but if you don't start, things will never improve. #publictransport #rail #northernpowerhouse

Excellent news but does it have to take soooo long? #rail #northernpowerhouse

www.theguardian.com/business/202...

There’s a good argument that can be made about #NorthernPowerhouse rail being the wrong scheme and it would be better to sort out existing bottlenecks (Leeds and Manchester Piccadilly capacity, the Castlefield Corridor) and widen electrification.

But a big scheme is more glamorous...

I have probably been out the UK too long.

I am foolishly contemplating taking the train from Manchester (airport) to Leeds for a meeting next week.
National rail inform me it will take at least 2 hours and cost anything from £10 to £40..

Half the trains have been replaced by buses.

It's 69km […]

Labour bottling HS3/ #NorthernPowerHouse rail will increase risk of leadership bid.

Labour to revive Northern Powerhouse Rail project Starmer and Reeves expected to announce move before Labour conference, with aim of boosting backbench morale

This is great news and long overdue. And it must be combined with more capacity between Brum and Manchester so the two new routes are connected, whether that's high-speed or something close.
