The Guardian view on Labour's plan for railways in the north: a slow train coming | Editorial

I'm so done with all these delays... 45 billion quid is a lot of dosh, but if it means we finally get some decent trains up north, I'm all for it 💸. The Bradford station is a good move, though - that place is like the last stop on the bus 🚌. It's crazy they're starting major work in the 2030s... what's taking so long?! 😩 The economic case is clear, but we need some concrete timelines and investment plans to make this thing happen 💪. Can't wait for a reliable train service that doesn't make me want to pull my hair out 😂!
 
I'm not sure if this £45 billion plan is gonna be enough to get the Northern Powerhouse Rail off the ground 🤔. I mean, it's been stuck in development hell for so long, what makes this one different? They're still talking about a major overhaul in the 2030s... that's ages away from when people actually need a decent train service. We've had enough of broken promises and missed deadlines - it's time to see some real action on the tracks 🚂. Can't say I'm entirely optimistic about this one just yet, but at least they're trying... 👍
