The future of the northern England rail network is up for grabs. In the next few weeks, the Government will announce its plans for future rail franchises for northern England. Will it be growth, investment, improvements – or fares rises, service cuts and savings?

This event will discuss what’s at stake with the Rail Minister and experts.
