but we've got a little bit of detail from the department for transport and the government tonight, whichggest they'll scale back the plans partly for the extension of h52, this would've been the bit of h52 going from the east midlands up to yorkshire. it looks like that'll be scaled back and ended at the east midlands, and it looks like there'll be no new line across the pen lines between leeds and manchester for people, people hoping a new powerhouse northern route, or hs three, it would be built. this plan says it won't focus on building new routes, but instead upgrade existing routes. it's been described as the biggest ever public investment in the rail network, £96 billion, but i think it will disappoint some people who were hoping they would see that investment turn into actual roots but this plan delivers journey times which are same as, similar to, or faster than the h52 proposals, while doubling or troubling capacities that consumers benefit — to point out building new roots would take a long time, you may not have seen those trains actually carry passengers until way into the 20

will my right honorable friend ask his department for transport, ministry of defence and department forenvironment, food and rural affairs to work together pragmatically and reasonably with suggested route amendments to ensure that local communities such as warcop, musgrave and sandford are not left blighted by the current plans? pm johnson: mr. speaker, he is right, that the development that he refers to is part of an infrastructure revolution that i think will transform the country, but he is also right that we should consider local feedback from stakeholders and the community when finalising the design, and so we will. speaker: unfortunately, the leader of the opposition is isolating, so i am calling ed miliband to ask the questions on behalf of the opposition. >> hear, hear! >> just like the old days.

the department for transport is expected to announce plans later this week — which will see the existingspondent nick eardley explained how significant it was. an integrated rail plan is a big deal for many people around england, who want to know what it will mean for theirjourney times, but also for the government, as it seeks to try and persuade voters that it means business when it talks about levelling up opportunity outside london. this is going to be a big package, around £96 billion will be spent over the coming decades. £40 billion of the plan we expect to see on thursday will be new money that we haven't heard about before. but there are going to be some significant changes to the plans that we were expecting. so hsz will still go to nottingham, but it won't now go to leeds. the northern powerhouse rail line, that was expected to run as a high speed line between leeds and manchester, that will now largely be based on existing rail track, which will be upgraded, and many will see that as falling far short of what the government has promised. now, there are going to be some signif

the department for transport is expected to announce plans later this week, which will see the existing rather than replaced. the labour mayor of west yorkshire tracy brabin has written a letter to the prime minister, calling on him to deliver on his promises. she says ditching the plan to build the eastern leg of the hs2 rail network will be "levelling down and a betrayal of the north." we have been promised 60 announcements about transport for our region and not a shovel in the ground yet. so we were promised the biggest infrastructure plan of hs two for a decade ago. we've been talking about it for time immemorial. had we got started with the at least be on her way. and now if it's true that it's going to be scrapped, that's going to be devastating for the potential of our region and for our communities. steve bannon — who was an advisor to former president, donald trump has appeared in court after refusing to cooperate with the investigation into the deadly january 6th attack on the us capitol. bannon has been charged with contempt of congress. the committee investigating the capito
