Transport for the North published its Strategic Transport Plan last year, setting out how better connectivity can transform the region’s economy, environment and social inclusion over the next 25 years. Backed by the North’s mayors and political leaders, TfN and its partners are now working together to make the Plan’s ambitions a reality. Katie will set out how implementation is taking shape, and also examine how rail reform and devolution are providing more opportunities for transformational change for people and places across the North.
