Proceeding contribution from Lord Lennie (Labour) in the House of Lords on Monday, 19 January 2026. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Northern Powerhouse Rail.
Northern Powerhouse Rail
My Lords, I welcome the noble Lord’s statement regarding Liverpool, Manchester, Leeds and Bradford. There is also Newcastle, as the right reverend Prelate just said. The journey time from Newcastle to Manchester is longer than from Newcastle to London. Is the plan designed to improve that particular journey?
