The government is to give local powers for tap-and-go contactless travel. However, it must first set national objectives and standards, or this will lead to balkanisation of integrated ticketing, with different systems in each devolved authority area. gov.uk/government/new…
We had a Parliamentary Reception today to launch ‘A Growth Opportunity for Railways’. Read on at railfuture.org.uk/Social-Media-3… - and/or read our paper at railfuture.org.uk/display4276 Our thanks to @catkinson80 MP for hosting and our President Christian Woolmar for presiding.
Railfuture has been campaigning since 2018 for the Northern cities to be combined into a single strategic economic entity linked by a fast, high capacity rail network to realise the economic potential of the region as Britain’s Northern Powerhouse.
Railfuture welcomes today's government announcement of plans to develop Northern Powerhouse Rail in three phases, building on the TransPennine Route Upgrade between Leeds and Manchester which is in progress. railfuture.org.uk/Northern-power…

The Railways Bill will establish Great British Railways with the tools and authority it needs to make the railway deliver for passengers, freight and taxpayers but it is worrying that many politicians think that the job will be done when the law is passed. railfuture.org.uk/article1925
House building must be sustainable, by being served by rail. All but one of the first 12 ‘new towns’ is already rail-served or the subject of rail proposals. Strategic planning, integrating land use with transport planning, is necessary to identify more. railfuture.org.uk/article1924

The expected U-turn on Personal Independence Payment benefits will cost the government approximately £2Bn per year. The Treasury loses the same amount each year through the 'temporary' 5p cut to fuel duty introduced in March 2022. Fuel duty hits the more affluent not the poorest
