Transport in London is receiving up to 10 times more funding than that in northern regions, according to figures published today.

The Institute for Public Policy Research North's Paying for our Progress report said that nearly £2,000 per person will be spent on London transport projects over the next five years, while projects in Yorkshire and the Humber will receive just £190 per person.
