Transport for the North (TfN) is the first statutory sub-national transport body in the United Kingdom. It was formed in 2018 to make the case for strategic transport improvements across the North of England.[1][2] Creating this body represented an unprecedented devolution of power from central government.[3] TfN brings together the North's twenty local transport authorities and business leaders together with Network Rail, National Highways, and HS2 and works with the UK Government.[4] The organisation has offices in Manchester and Leeds.[5]
