Labour\ s Middlesbrough MP Andy McDonald A NORTH-EAST MP says a Government announcement of an upgrade for the Transpennine rail route is “disappointing for Teesside”. The Government said it was investing an extra £317m into the link to boost punctuality, reliability and connectivity for passengers between York, Leeds and Manchester. A section of the route between York and Church Fenton, which is between Tadcaster and Selby, will be electrified, also helping to provide greener journeys. Middlesbrough MP Andy McDonald, Labour’s former shadow transport secretary, acknowledged that any upgrade between York, Leeds and Manchester was critically important, but said “one glance at the rail map reveals the glaring lack of electrification between Northallerton and Teesport”.
