answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/11/2017 answer text <p>The March 2015 document “The Northern Powerhouse: One Agenda, One Economy, One North” was jointly produced by Government, Northern city regions and local enterprise partnerships. That outlined a shared vision for rail services across the North designed to radically improve journey times and frequencies between major cities to support a single economy. The document also noted that projects in the northern transport strategy will need to offer good value for taxpayer’s money.</p><p> </p><p>This provides the backdrop for development of the northern powerhouse rail network. Work since 2015 has identified that as well as city centre to city centre services, there could be cases where serving locations between the cities could enhance the business case for investment and so be beneficial.</p><p> </p><p>It is for Transport for the North to come forward with proposals that respond to the vision and have a positive business case. We look forward to receiving those proposals next year.</p> answering member constituency Blackpool North and Cleveleys answering member printed Paul Maynard question first answered 14/11/2017 11:39:50 answering member 3926 label Biography information for Paul Maynard

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/11/2017 answer text <p>The vision for Northern Powerhouse Rail is being developed in line with the 2015 Northern Transport Strategy developed jointly by the Government and Transport for the North. The Department has regular discussions with Transport for the North on Northern Powerhouse Rail (NPR) and we look forward to receiving their proposals next year.</p><p> </p><p>We understand that Transport for the North favours using HS2 as a core part of the NPR between Manchester and Liverpool, thus integrating HS2 and NPR and maximising use of the HS2 investment. Based on the HS2 route, that would preclude NPR services being routed via Leigh.</p><p> </p><p>However, as part of the development of HS2, Leigh’s closest station, Wigan North Western, will be served by HS2 trains following completion of HS2 Phase One in 2026, and by 2033 will be served by HS2 trains from London, Birmingham, Preston and Scotland. This will benefit Leigh residents.</p><p> </p><p>In addition the Government has provided Greater Manchester Combined Authority with £2.5m to develop HS2 Growth Strategies, which include plans for improving connectivity across Greater Manchester to the planned HS2 stations. Greater Manchester Combined Authority and Transport for Greater Manchester are advancing their wider plans for connectivity across the city region through their Greater Manchester 2040 Transport Strategy.</p> answering member constituency Blackpool North and Cleveleys answering member printed Paul Maynard question first answered 14/11/2017 11:49:41 answering member 3926 label Biography information for Paul Maynard

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/11/2017 answer text <p>The Department works closely with Transport for the North on Northern Powerhouse Rail (NPR), not least because the Government is funding the work on this issue.</p><p> </p><p>Through this work, the Department recognises the advantage of using HS2 as a core part of the NPR network between Manchester and Liverpool, thus integrating HS2 and NPR and maximising use of the HS2 investment. That is why the £300m announced by my RHF the Chancellor of the Exchequer in October includes passive provision for junctions to enable such links. Transport for the North are considering options arising from the potential HS2 junction to Liverpool which offer good value for taxpayers’ money. We look forward to receiving NPR proposals next year.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Blackpool North and Cleveleys answering member printed Paul Maynard question first answered 14/11/2017 11:54:51 answering member 3926 label Biography information for Paul Maynard
