    The CBI is calling for improvements to regional infrastructure as it says that as the UK “begins its exit from the EU, there will need to be a renewed focus on delivering growth that is felt in all parts of the country.” Reducing travel times between northern English cities, it says, “could provide access to a working population of up to 16 million, matching the number within an hour of London today.” Other rail issues highlighted include improving speed and capacity on the Midland and East Coast Main Lines; Trans-Pennine electrification; reducing East Midlands journey times; the Brighton Main Line upgrade programme; and east-West connectivity.
