Northern Powerhouse

TransCityRail: Top 10 Tweets

On Thursday we held our annual rail event focused on driving innovation in the rail industry in the north, TransCityRail (TCR). It was a conference jam-packed with industry leaders and decision-makers, all working in tandem in advancing the cohesion and power in the region. Here were our top 10 tweets from the event!

Tim Wood of @Transport4North - 1.7% of northerns use the rail compared to 30% of people down in the south. We need to equip people with the infrastructure it needs, we have a once in a lifetime opportunity to equip our region #connectingthenorth #transcityrail

.@LUCYLucyprior emphasise the need to network for the future. The membership development and international trade director at @therailalliance says we need to accept inclusivity as the main approach and diversity and equality will follow #transcityrail #ConnectingTheNorth
