The Department intends to publish the Integrated Rail Plan (IRP) very soon. Given the scale and long-term significance of the plans that the IRP will set out, it is important that Government fully considers the evidence from the National Infrastructure Commission, representatives from the North and Midlands, and its own analysis, before finalising these plans.
