The Integrated Rail Plan (IRP) was one of the most significant releases for the rail sector, particularly in the North and Midlands, last year. It has stencilled out the strategy of work to take place across the region in the coming years to improve the rail network.

Despite the rail industry often thinking about projects and investment regionally, much of the UK rail network does not fit neatly within singular regional boundaries, and for many of the major projects touched on in the IRP, it will require significant cross-border collaboration between regions.
To understand this more, and to help encourage it further, TCR Midlands 2022 saw a specific panel debate on the IRP and how the sub-national transport bodies for these regions, in the North and Midlands, are planning to come together.

Joining host Helen Fospero on stage were:
• Maria Machancoses, Chief Executive, Midlands Connect
• Martin Tugwell, Chief Executive, Transport for the North
• Graham Botham, Strategy & Planning Director, Network Rail

The TransCityRail Midlands conference and networking dinner enables you to gain invaluable insight from the leaders responsible for building, shaping, and delivering the rail investment strategy of the Midlands!
