Default Labour Annouces 3-5 years (£1 Billion) New North of England Railway

Not High Speed

Reporter, stated on,
Politics Live BBC2


The government plans to make
NPR the focus of a wider Northern Growth Strategy,
which will be published in spring.

The first phase of NPR will also see
improvements to railway stations in Leeds,
Sheffield and York, the government said.

The plans include pushing ahead with
a much-anticipated new station at Bradford,
which supporters say would allow young job
seekers from the city to access opportunities
across a much wider area.

A new station is also expected at Rotherham Gateway.]

Absolutely not. This whole thing is pie in the sky.
