Early Win Projects

As part of its programme the Northern Way co-funded a number of early win projects. An evaluation of the Early Win projects has been undertaken which identified substantial evidence that either the schemes would not have taken place without the Northern Way's involvement, or that their implementation was significantly brought forward or enhanced by the Northern Way's involvement. In addition, the Northern Way's support for the Early Win projects has contributed to the strategic case for the Compact's transport priorities

The Early Win Projects are:

• The reinstatement of the Olive Mount Chord and gauge enhancement of the Runcorn route to the West Coast Main Line (WCML).
• Capacity enhancements on the Hull Docks Branch Line.
• The construction of a third platform at Manchester Airport railway station.
• The first motorway car share lane in the country at the junction of the M62/M606 in West Yorkshire.

The Northern Way also used capital funding to advance the case for gauge enhancements and the Northern Hub and in support of the Yorcard pilot smartcard project.

The Early Win Projects have been subject to post implementation evaluation.
