More jobs, more growth - join the campaign for high speed rail

We need your support to ensure the government's firm commitment to high speed rail and ensure our area benefits from this as soon as possible. You can help make this happen by joining the 'Yes to High Speed Rail' campaign.

The proposals for high speed rail 2 offer a fantastic opportunity for growth across our City Region.

Recent reports estimate the high speed rail connection will create an additional 400,000 jobs in core cities and a total of 1 million jobs in wider urban areas.

This means the UK economy will see GDP growth of up to 3% in the areas affected by high-speed rail, and an increase in local wages between 1.06% and 2.7%.

The high speed rail network is a project of enormous national economic importance that will help create jobs and opportunities for hard-pressed families throughout the country.
