We have made clear our ambition to invest in our infrastructure and level up opportunity across the country. We’ve already taken steps to do this, including developing the Midlands Rail Hub, pledging £500m to start to reverse the Beeching cuts and announcing £5 billion of new funding to overhaul bus and cycle links for every region outside London. As we look ahead we will continue to focus on levelling-up as we deliver an infrastructure revolution for the whole country.
