BBC reporting that 5 northern cites are putting in a bid for government funds to improve the infrastructure up North. The report says
" council leaders in northern cities had argued for years the transport links in the region have been far too slow and inferior compared to those in the south of England."
In my travels around Manchester, Liverpool, Leeds, Newcastle, I have always been impressed with the number of Motorways or dual carriageways and the ease of East - West rail travel.
I suppose it depends where "The South" is but down here below the M25 our road network is awful and our rail network is not fit for purpose so I cannot see that The North is that hard done by. Have I got it wrong?
