This question was answered on 18th June 2019
I have already announced my priorities for the Transpennine Route Upgrade passengers within the £2.9 billion available for this Control Period. This will include some electrification and capacity and reliability enhancements. Network Rail is already funded for design works and once I have received their proposal I will be able to say more.
