Later today Philip Hammond will make an announcement re HS2/NPR "touchpoints" i.e. junctions.

Details of these have to be included in the forthcoming HS2 enabling bill. I understand there are four HS2/NPR touchpoints, which in Yorkshire are East of Leeds (Garforth to the ECML) and a Leeds-Sheffield route. I guess the other two are Liverpool-HS2 and Manchester Piccadilly?
I've started a new thread since this hopefully will provide concrete news on NPR, which the current thread is light on.
Today I am announcing a further £300 million to future-proof the railway network in the North. This investment will go towards ensuring HS2 infrastructure can link up with future Northern Powerhouse and Midlands rail projects - helping the towns and cities of the North reach their full potential.
