Transport for the North has warned a "sense of managed decline feels inevitable" without government investment.
Transport for the North (TfN) has called on the government for investment expressing fears local and regional networks will be left behind without improvement. TfN hopes transport investment will be the catalyst to transform the north's economy and lay foundations for future growth.
The TfN board has written to Liz Truss, the new prime minister, setting out the urgent and immediate priorities for the north. The letter makes the case for more well rounded investment in the north, with the need for the completion of major projects such as Northern Powerhouse Rail and HS2, but also for improvements to be made to existing local networks.
