The transformation of rail services across South Yorkshire and the North is getting on track as South Yorkshire’s Mayor Oliver Coppard and Secretary of State for Transport Heidi Alexander met in Sheffield to officially sign the Northern Powerhouse Rail Compact.
The agreement outlines how the Government and South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority (SYMCA) will work together to deliver South Yorkshire’s share of the £45 billion Northern Powerhouse Rail (NPR) investment for the North announced last week.
