Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner recently announced in the English Devolution White Paper that an additional 8.8 million people will benefit from mayoral devolution in their area, meaning that nearly 80% of England’s population will soon have local leaders with funding and powers over policy areas that will include transport.
The railways are an enabler for growth across the country, and ensuring that rail devolution is part of the toolbox available to both new and existing mayors will be an important component of their success in many areas.
