North of Watford Gap has it's own separate rail proposals, Northern Powerhouse and Midlands Engine. In that sense more northern areas are benefiting.
London is the only listed place south of Watford Gap.

Thameslink, Crossrail, East West Rail, and Crossrail2 are fairly major infrastructure projects...
Thameslink - Thameslink Programme is an ambitious 10-year programme of extensive infrastructure enhancements and the delivery of 115 new trains that will bring faster, more frequent, more reliable, better connected journeys for passengers – transforming north-south travel through London.
Crossrail - The Elizabeth line will link Reading and Heathrow in the west with Shenfield and Abbey Wood in the east, via new 21km tunnels under central London
Crossrail2 - A number of options are being considered for Crossrail 2. These include a major new tunnel across London from Wimbledon to Alexandra Palace, with an option to connect to existing rail networks between south west and north east London. This would create routes from stations such as Kingston and Surbiton through central London to Tottenham Hale and beyond. Crossrail 2 would serve London Victoria station and the proposed new high-speed terminal at London Euston.
East West Rail - The East West Rail scheme will re-establish a rail link between Cambridge and Oxford to improve connections between East Anglia and central, southern and western England.
