Sir Peter Hendy has recommended further funding to be committed to Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland to work on improving “strategic transport links”.
The chairman of Network Rail was answering questions from MPs about the Union Connectivity review at a session of the Scottish Affairs Committee.
He concluded that the majority of the improvement work had to be made in England in order to “better connect Scotland” to the other four nations in the UK, adding that this could “substantially decrease journey times”.
