Northern Rail Industry Leaders
Launch
On 11 April, the Northern Rail Industry Leaders will relaunch following the merging of the East and West contingent groups with speeches from East and West Chairs, Justin Moss and Mike Hulme and Tim Woods, Rail Director at Transport for the North (TfN).
During 2018, starting with the workshops at the launch event, NRIL proposes to develop a ‘rail supply chain in the north’ report to complement the TfN strategies. In particular we intend to demonstrate that the TfN investment can stimulate a resurgence in the regional supply chain creating a sustainable legacy of skills, capability and innovation.

- Wider industrial development strategies, including examining the benefits of integration between the North’s energy strategy and rail investment, and the need to strengthen the skills in the North to upgrade and modernise the railway
- Potential new and re-opened lines and stations, working in partnership with local transport authorities and the rail industry to examine business case requirements
- Renewal as an opportunity for enhancement, working in partnership with Network Rail to identify value-for-money infrastructure solutions
- Identifying opportunities for alternative sources of funding
