Following the Government’s announcement of a £9bn rail investment, D2N2 chairman Colin Walton said;
“I wholeheartedly welcome today’s investment in the UK rail network and particularly the upgrade and electrification to the Midland Main Line, which will bring shorter journey times and make our area more attractive for investment.
“Transport engineering and construction are key sectors for the local economy and I hope this £9bn vote of confidence in rail will rapidly create opportunities for local firms.”
