It's more than the entirety of capital spending on transport in the North since the turn of the millennium
A plan to create a rail network across the North, following cash for city regions last week. Treasury should invest in it to set the North up for a better future

Of course the other thing to note is this is infrastructure spending, so doesn't include other transport spending (like support for railways)
Although, I do agree that there's should be more spending across the UK
