Transpennine Route Upgrade – is this rail’s best kept secret?
from Green Signals · host Green Signals Productions
There’s a revolution underway on the railways in the north, and no, it’s not Northern Powerhouse Rail, but rather something that will provide the bedrock to anything that NPR may become. Its name? The Transpennine route between Manchester, Leeds and York. We don’t hear too much about the Transpennine Route Upgrade outside of the Manchester – Leeds – York corridor although that may be because it’s on time and on budget. But it’s no less impressive for that – at £11 billion, this multiphase project will transform passenger and freight traffic across the Pennines for decades to come. Over the past few months, Green Signals has been following the project and visiting the area to find out more. And what we’ve found is impressive. Really impressive. There’s still more to do and the project team are under no illusion about that but here’s out first major update on the remarkable project that is the Transpennine Route Upgrade.
