In a written statement to Parliament, Grant Shapps shared that additional funding for Transpennine route upgrade is to be made available.
The government has made available £959 million of additional funding to continue to progress the delivery of the ambitious Transpennine route upgrade.
This funding is a milestone in upgrading the key east-west rail artery across the north of England, to further this government’s levelling up and decarbonisation objectives.
The funding will enable further on-the-ground delivery of electrification and journey time improvement works, mostly west of Leeds.
