Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps his Department is taking to reduce the average commuter time for residents in the Morley and Outwood constituency.
The Transpennine Route Upgrade (TRU) programme is a multi-billion-pound investment and the Government’s largest single investment in upgrading the country’s existing railway in the next five years. TRU will deliver extensive reliability, capacity and journey time improvements across the key east to west route, from Manchester Victoria to York, via Morley. Network Rail continue to progress development and design of the programme.
