The National Infrastructure & Service Transformation Authority has released an updated Infrastructure Pipeline, showcasing major rail investments in Yorkshire. With £50bn allocated for 29 projects over the next decade, the pipeline highlights several initiatives in the region, including key capacity upgrades and station improvements. This forms part of a broader £530bn infrastructure programme covering 780 schemes across the UK.
Published on July 17, the pipeline provides an important update on the current status and future plans for rail infrastructure but does not announce new policies. Its primary purpose is to offer businesses in the supply chain visibility of upcoming projects, allowing them to plan for future demand, resource allocation, and skills development. In Yorkshire, projects like the Leeds Station improvements and enhancements to the West Coast line will play a crucial role in the region’s rail development.
Industry leaders have welcomed the release, recognising the value of long-term infrastructure planning.
