Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, how much investment will go into rail enhancements to the North West compared to the North East.

We will continue to manage Network Rail delivered rail enhancements within the Rail Network Enhancements Pipeline (RNEP) as a portfolio in line with the RNEP policy. We want to provide as much clarity and certainty as possible on rail enhancements and will set out our plans shortly.
