Transport for the North welcomes today’s funding announcement for investment in a number of vital transport projects in the North.
Investing in better transport links for people and places – whether to get to work or to a medical appointment, to go shopping or to visit friends and family – is critical for the Norths communities and businesses. Improving rail links across the Pennines, investing in local bus services and maintenance of roads will ensure better transport options for everyone who needs to use them.
Lord McLoughlin, Transport for the North Chair said We welcome today’s announcement and the benefits it will deliver for transport users across the North. Investment in transport infrastructure and services is essential to enable people to access opportunities, reduce social exclusion and grow our economy.
