I thought (probably ignorantly) that all they need to do is lengthen the station platforms (that need it), to accommodate an eight carriage train and that would immediately make a difference. Obviously there's a ton of works involved with those infrastructures but relatively easy in regards to large scale public remodelling.A reminder that without the HS2 tunnel under South Manchester, which would be part of the Northern Powerhouse Rail route from Liverpool to Manchester, there is no business case for a new line just from Manchester to Leeds. (They'd only offered Widnes to Huddersfield anyway as a new line.)
