<p>In November 2015 the Government and Transport for the North jointly published a
progress report on the Northern Transport Strategy, including our work to transform
rail in the North. Our vision is an integrated network of rail services providing
fast, frequent, comfortable and convenient connectivity between the main centres of
the North.</p><br /><p>We have commissioned Network Rail and HS2 Ltd to identify options
to meet, or move towards meeting this vision. This includes development of infrastructure
options, including between Manchester and Leeds, as part of a wider network also encompassing
Liverpool, Sheffield, Newcastle and Hull.</p>
