Greater Manchester mayor says governments £96bn rail plan will not bring the claimed benefits. The north of England risks being left with second-best trains for 200 years under the governments 96bn rail plan, the mayor of Greater Manchester has told MPs. Andy Burnham said that while his city would do better than most in the north, the plan would not maximise the levelling-up benefits that ministers claimed it would bring.
