Mrs Truss had pledged to build a major rail scheme in northern England in full, with a high speed link eventually connecting Northern towns and cities from Hull to Liverpool, through Bradford.

The government gave the go-ahead for the plant in July. EDF has said it could generate enough for about six million homes.
