The Trans-Pennine route upgrade business base got rejected recently and they've had to go back and have another think. We're currently looking at trying to fund a "digital" (meaningless term these days) traffic management* system to improve performance in the meantime.
*bit like air traffic control for trains. system aims to give signallers the best possible guidance in order to get things back up and running again if there's disruption. It also covers stock and crew movements to try and minimise the infuriating "service cancelled due to non availability of a crew member" thing that winds folks up so much. That's almost always due to things going out of sych after disruption and staff and trains ending up stuck in the wrong place.
