The Commission바카라 사이트檚 central finding is that the North needs immediate and very significant investment for action now and a plan for longer term transformation to reduce journey times, increase capacity and improve reliability.

On rail, this means kick-starting HS3, integrating it with HS2 and planning for the redevelopment of the North바카라 사이트檚 gateway stations.

On roads, investment should be brought forwards for an early boost in capacity on the M62, the North바카라 사이트檚 most important east-west link, alongside funding to identify and assess proposals for tackling a range of other strategic challenges.
