POWERHOUSE RAIL PLANS TO SPEED UP CONSTRUCTION

摘要

Transport for the North (TfN) is working up a “phasing strategy” for the Northern Powerhouse Rail (NPR) project, board meeting agenda papers reveal. By splitting construction into a number of “defined projects”, TfN bosses believe the £39bn scheme can be accelerated. Four phasing scenarios will be developed including a preferred option for the delivery of the line connecting Manchester.
