uin	78385
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/11/2021 answer text <p>The Transpennine Route Upgrade (TRU) is enhancing rail infrastructure from Manchester to York. However, it will provide better connectivity across the Pennines for a range of centres beyond these points, by reducing journey times and providing room for extra trains. This includes doubling the frequency of direct trains on the Hull to Leeds route from one to two trains per hour. The Integrated Rail Plan published last week sets out further benefits for the region through other projects.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Pendle answering member printed Andrew Stephenson question first answered 24/11/2021 14:30:53 answering member 4044 label Biography information for Andrew Stephenson
