Temuchin Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 There's a fly-through video of the proposed route in a 2018 Highways England page at https://highwaysengland.citizenspace.com/he/trans-pennine-upgrade/ Does that still apply? I can't find any updated video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thorpist Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 Is it coincidence that when the governments have political problems with the north they instigate a public consultation about cross pennine transport? This problem has been discussed for the past 45 years with very little outcome . The same old arguments will be recirculated before being allowed to peter and put into an archive with all the rest of the often repeated information .

Correct, the last remaining red bastions are not going to get national investment in regional traffic issues. Especially now Andy Burnham is stepping up to be the 'King of the North' in his resistance to 10 Downing Street. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
