The proposed routes for the long-awaited West Yorkshire mass transit system will be revealed today, ahead of the consultation.
Mayor Tracy Brabin is set to outline the options for both the Leeds Line and the Bradford Line, which are the two transport corridors. Business leaders and politicians will gather in Leeds today to hear the route proposals and launch the consultation process. A further survey will take place over the preferred route in 2025, and Ms Brabin has promised to get spades in the ground by 2028.
“We can’t do this on our own, this is absolutely going to involve the private sector as well, but they want to be part of the story. “This is not just Leeds but the whole of West Yorkshire, all our local authority leaders are on board. We’ve got the buy-in from government, we’ve got the will - it’s going to be exciting.” Currently, Leeds is the biggest city in Europe without any form of mass transit system.
