Northern Powerhouse Rail 🚂 More empty Southern promises gone off the rails

Northern Powerhouse Rail 🚂 More empty Southern promises gone off the rails

Ten years ago this week, Conservative chancellor George Osborne announced the north would get its own east-west high-speed line, dubbed Northern Powerhouse Rail, connecting cities from Liverpool to Leeds and, eventually, on to Hull, near Grimsby. In a speech at Manchester’s Museum of Science and Industry, Osborne spoke of how northern cities could combine to “take on the world”. But in 2021, Boris Johnson curtailed the line to end in Marsden. He also cut Leeds out of the planned HS2 network, before last year Rishi Sunak cut Manchester out of it too, leaving no tangible high-speed plans for the north at all.
