#Railnatter Episode 223: West Yorkshire mass transit (reviewing the consultation plans)

Update: 2024-07-24

Description

Back in Episode 49, we looked at the broad plans for mass transit across West Yorkshire, centred on Leeds. Now, mayor Tracy Brabin has launched the consultation for the first two proposed routes, between Leeds and Bradford and from central Leeds southwards.

Are these proposals any good? Are they ambitious enough? Will they achieve sufficient modal shift? Let's take a look together.
