Plans unveiled for Leeds Bradford trams

Plans have been unveiled for the first two lines on the proposed West Yorkshire tram system, after former Prime Minister Rishi Sunak announced funding for the scheme as one result of abandoning Phases 2A and 2B of HS2 between the West Midlands, Crewe and Manchester. A public consultation has been launched by West Yorkshire Combined Authority, which is suggesting that Phase 1 of the tram scheme would see links built between central and south Leeds, and also between Leeds and Bradford.
