Sky News published this video item, entitled “Watch live: Grant Shapps unveils Integrated Rail Plan” – below is their description.
A long-delayed integrated rail plan for the Midlands and the north of England is set to be unveiled by the government.
This has been billed as the largest ever investment in rail infrastructure, with £96bn pledged to improve existing routes.
The plan is expected to confirm that HS2 will be curtailed – with its eastern leg extending to Leeds cancelled – and the Northern Powerhouse trans-Pennine route scrapped, despite the prime minister having publicly promised to deliver both in the last two years.
