Keir Starmer has promised that Northern England will no longer be “held to ransom” by outdated and unreliable transport networks, pledging billions in funding to finally start fixing the mess.
The Prime Minister announced a major cash injection aimed at reviving the region’s neglected rail, bus, and road systems — something that’s long overdue in the eyes of many Northern commuters. In total, £415 million is being pumped into improving rail services connecting Manchester, Huddersfield, Leeds, and York — an area plagued by delays, overcrowded trains, and ageing infrastructure, reported Sky News.
