Where does £115m come from?
Major rail infrastructure projects like the Manchester Airport station upgrade are typically funded by the government, often through the Department for Transport. This £115m investment is part of public spending aimed at improving transport links and supporting regional growth. Network Rail then manages the delivery of these projects using the allocated funds.
