Issue details

Adoption of the Rail Strategy in West Yorkshire

The Rail Strategy sets out the Combined Authority’s priorities, the next steps and interventions required to deliver the Rail Vision for West Yorkshire up to 2050. It looks at how we can address the urgent issues impacting the railways, such as frequency, capacity and passenger experience. It also looks at our priorities for the development of the rail network, transforming national and regional rail connectivity and ensuring there is adequate capacity for increased freight on the railways. The Rail Strategy will form a key supplementary document that underpins the new Local Transport Plan (LTP4).
