Drop-in sessions for stakeholders

We will be hosting regular drop-in sessions for stakeholders along the Transpennine route. These sessions, hosted by our project and stakeholders team, will provide an opportunity to discuss the progress, ongoing activities within the area, upcoming blockades, and our sustainability initiatives.

The format will be approximately 2-hour drop-in sessions every quarter, featuring presentations, drop-ins, and breakout sessions to facilitate comprehensive discussions.

Please email transpennineengagement@networkrail.co.uk if you would like to get to know more.

TRU FAST FACTS

 

TRU is an £10.7bn electric railway upgrade, which aims to:

      • Provide 15% quicker journeys between York and Manchester on reliable electric trains. 
      • Offer up to six fast services every hour (from four per hour) between Leeds and Manchester.
      • Halve time lost to delays on trans-Pennine services.
      • Deliver early benefits with electric trains running now between Manchester Victoria and Stalybridge.
We’ve created 5000 jobs on TRU to date, and 85% of colleagues come from within 40 miles of the route. We will create over 8000 jobs during the duration of the programme. We’re expanding freight provision – widening tunnels so shipping container can travel from between ports on the east and west of the country via rail, helping remove up to 1000 lorries a day from the clogged roads across the Pennines.
While working on a live railway, we are keeping customers updated with comprehensive customer handling plans. We have improved the railway on three diversionary routes to allow more trains to run, to help keep customers and freight moving while the core Transpennine route is disrupted to deliver essential works.
