Surprised there hasn't been a thread on this already. So for all the talk of a 'Northern Powerhouse', the two rail improvement schemes that would have affected the North* have been shelved, while the Great Western Line scheme, which services London, is saved. Plus ca change...
Does this mean that long-suffering Northern commuters are no longer getting the old shabby Thameslink trains? Normally that would be a blessing if they weren't already using trains that are half busses.
*I know the map seems to indicate they're shelving a Sheffield to London line, but the text says they're shelving the electrification of the line between York and Sheffield.
