We π freight trains
But please keep them away from #ManchesterPiccadilly & the Castlefield Corridor! Time to build an alternative route to free up space for passenger trains
π Did you know?
π€οΈ Freight trains reduce emissions on average by 76% when compared to road transport
π That's around 1.4m tonnes of CO2 emissions saved each year

Government policy is still to just tinker around the edges. Β£100m here, Β£84m there. Commission another report, run another consultation.
Just build the extra platforms and be done with it already.
Part two of my interview with Transport Secretary @grantshapps ahead of today's announcement of an Β£84m investment into the region's railways to improve reliability. Mayor @AndyBurnhamGM says it won't come close to solving congestion #LDReportermanchestereveningnews.co.uk/β¦
