8th Dec 2015 / 2 What is “The Northern Powerhouse”

The Northern Powerhouse is a concept with the aim to transform Northern growth, rebalance the country’s economy and establish the North as a global powerhouse - aiming to bridge the economic gap between the north and south by attracting investment and improving transport links between its towns and cities

Transport is a fundamental part of achieving these goals and how we will develop the long-term investment programmes needed for improvement in transport links between the North's major cities, to allow them to compete together as one major economy. The plan covers rail, highway, airport, freight and integrated transport.

Rail plan to address: journeys too slow – particularly east to west overcrowding infrequency of services poor rolling stock – access for all peak times – overcrowding north to south

Northern Hub and Electrification is the 1st phase of the Northern Powerhouse ~ £2BN investment. Leading to the overall investment of £10BN to the Northern Powerhouse by 2033 - linked to the benefits of HS2.
