Today, at the Northern Transport Summit #NTS24, I will set out GM’s new plan for bringing rail into the @BeeNetwork.

We are:

🐝 expanding the lines to EIGHT

🐝 setting a new end date of 2028

The building of new infrastructure such as roads, train lines and communities will be safeguarded by over £600bn in capital investment over the next 5 years.  

Projects like these help to grow our economy and level up regions across the UK. #AutumnStatement

[HM Treasury @hmtreasury]

Round 2 of the Levelling Up Fund will invest at least £1.7bn in local projects’ across the UK.  

Successful projects will be announced later this year. #AutumnStatement
