Goverment announces funding to improve rail links in the North between Manchester, Huddersfield, Leeds and York.
Funny how people think that this is as far as the North goes…..we must live in the Tundra with the buffaloes
Meanwhile those two carriage antique pieces of rolling stock carry on un the real north…if not cancelled

at the moment all they are doing is improving the track to knock a few minutes off the journey. we will see if frequancies improve when this is finished as we all know the main problem will not be solved. the cost of a ticket. its back to that question again of where the north starts. think further north you live most people put it further up the country. those live in where i call border areas like nottingham and derby will depending on the level of there snobbery will class those cities as northern or midlands.
