</p><p>The potential route of HS3 to introduce improved rail links in the North has
not been decided. The plans are at an early stage. The Government has asked Sir David
Higgins to produce a Plan for bringing the benefits of high speed rail to the north
more quickly, as well as initial proposals for faster east-west connections – including
options on route, timescales and cost, and to deliver this in the Autumn. This will
start the process by which we can have a proper debate about the future of rail connectivity
in the North.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p>
