Boris Johnson has been slammed after claiming the Government's cut-price rail plan will deliver for the North.
The downgraded Northern Powerhouse Rail plan, adopted by Grant Shapps last year, cut the requested investment by roughly half and replaced much of the new track originally requested with upgrades to existing routes.
Yet despite this, the Prime Minister claimed on Wednesday afternoon that he was "gonna build Northern Powerhouse Rail", prompting fury from MPs and think tanks.
