Close Enough ForGovernment Work...I Guess

 All the competence you experct from a Labour politician...

They quickly realised they'd become a laughing stock and hastily deleted it.

The ambitious project was announced on Tuesday (January 13), promising significant investment in northern transport infrastructure. Key features include a new Liverpool-Manchester line, major developments for an underground Piccadilly station, and the re-establishment of a Manchester-Birmingham route. Regrettably, the erroneous graphic failed to accurately represent these plans, reports the Manchester Evening News.

That's one way of putting it!  

Writing on social media, Mayor Brabin said: "The government has today committed to upgrade and electrify key rail links across Yorkshire, fix capacity at Leeds, and build a new Bradford station. As Mayors, we worked with Lord Blunkett, to make the case for Yorkshire's Plan for Rail and the government has listened to us."

Did they let Blunkett draw the map, perchance?
