A decision for the North's future: What we need from Northern Powerhouse Rail | Episode 42

Transport for the North Podcast

Join Gemma for a flash briefing on why we need continued commitment to the Northern Powerhouse Rail Network in the Integrated Rail Plan. Interim Strategy & Programmes Director Tim Foster gives us a quick run through of the huge benefits that a firm commitment to delivering the network would bring. These include new jobs, progress towards decarbonisation and uplifts in access to opportunity for people across the whole region. The network has been developed and agreed by all 20 local transport authorities across the North, along with business leaders across the region. The Integrated Rail Plan will set out how the Government will deliver Northern Powerhouse Rail alongside HS2.
