<p>The £13bn of transport investment in the North of England covers:</p><ul><li>full
costs of Highways England schemes on the strategic roads network in the North West,
North East and Yorkshire and Humber regions due to commence by 2020/21;</li><li>other
capital spending on the above regions by the Department for Transport and its delivery
bodies over the financial years 2015/16 to 2020/21;</li><li>the whole-life cost of
the Intercity Express train fleet which is due to enter service on the East Coast
Main Line from 2018 onwards.</li></ul><p> </p><p>Not all of the Local Growth Fund
is currently allocated, so as future allocations of the Local Growth Fund are made
to Local Enterprise partnerships, the amount supporting transport projects in the
north through to 2020/21 is likely to rise.</p><p> </p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p><strong>Project
