MAG statement on HS2 and Northern Powerhouse Rail

MAG CEO Charlie Cornish said: “The UK needs to be serious about levelling-up in the long-term, which is why today’s commitment to Northern Powerhouse Rail and HS2 is welcome, especially in the context of current economic pressures.

“It is disappointing the opportunity is not being taken to deliver NPR in full, including a new line from Manchester to Leeds via a station at Bradford, which would maximise the benefits of this once-in-a-generation investment.

“We remain committed to working in partnership with government on ensuring the North realises its full potential.”
