BBC News - Road and rail overhaul vital to north of England - Clegg

BBC News - Road and rail overhaul vital to north of England - Clegg



Looking at the implications for Cleethorpes:

-an electrified line from Sheffield to Manchester  - will the line from Sheffield to Cleethorpes be electrified?

- A more coherent tourism strategy, backed by £10m in possible funding - is this a travel, or general, strategy?  Seaside resorts are often at the end of railway lines.  The line from Grimsby to Cleethorpes has already been downgraded to single track.  Is the next step the closure of the line from Cleethorpes to Grimsby?

Specifically, he will call for:





  • A fully upgraded and electrified network between Manchester, Leeds and
    Sheffield by 2025

  • A more coherent tourism strategy, backed by £10m in possible funding
