PM 'remains committed' to Northern Powerhouse Rail

The Prime Minister reaffirmed the government's commitment to Northern Powerhouse Rail amidst delays in extending high-speed rail in the north of England. Concerns over long-term costs have stalled progress, following the scrapping of HS2's northern phases. Sir Keir Starmer emphasized the importance of getting the project right, stressing the need to address long-standing issues in infrastructure development in Yorkshire and other northern regions.
