Report will inform new government’s thinking, says transport secretary
The new government should urgently commission a feasibility study for a new rail link between the Midlands and West Yorkshire following the cancellation of HS2’s northern leg, a Labour-commissioned report has urged.
The report from the independent Urban Transport Group (UTG), which was commissioned by the party last year when it was still in opposition, was launched in Bradford yesterday (Wednesday).
