Railway promises

From the manifesto:

We will invest a record £13 billion in transport for the North.
We will electrify the main rail routes, build the Northern
Hub, and provide new trains for the North. We will upgrade
the A1, M62, M1 and A555 link road. And that is on top of
our £50 billion commitment to build High Speed 2 – the
new North-South railway linking up London with the West
Midlands, Leeds and Manchester – and develop High Speed
3 to join up the North.

The reality:
