Commuters will be THRILLED.

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

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

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...

Remember when HS2 to Leeds was cancelled by the NIC's shitty maths and fundamental lack of expertise, and Leeds was thrown the bone of "you'll get trams" and I said those would never be delivered?

Yeah, as I was saying...

I have probably been out the UK too long.

I was 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 + cost anything from £10 to £40.

Half the trains have been replaced by buses.

It's 79km.

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.
