Righteous fury from elected Northern Mayors over Grayling's backing for Crossrail 2 today:
On Friday, Tories say they can't afford rail schemes in the North. On Monday, they find billions more for London. Are these 2 things linked? https://t.co/SQc30hcdQd— Andy Burnham (@AndyBurnhamGM) July 24, 2017
I look forward to a similar announcement on Northern Powerhouse rail, which was in Tory manifesto unlike #Crossrail2 https://t.co/QwPawQJejG— Steve Rotheram (@Steve4LCRmayor) July 24, 2017
Welcome to the Northern Showerhouse!
