HS3: PM backs high-speed Leeds to Manchester rail route - BBC News
Boris Johnson has spoken of the need to "inject some pace" into plans for a high-speed route from Leeds to Manchester.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson has pledged to fund a high-speed rail line between Leeds and Manchester.

HS3 - a high-speed east-west rail link between Manchester and Leeds - was first announced by the government in 2014 but no firm commitments have been made since.

The full details of the route are expected to be published in the autumn following the review into HS2, which would connect London and the Midlands to Wigan, Manchester, Sheffield and Leeds.
