A Parliamentary committee has become the latest body to question how a rail scheme to cut journey times between Bradford and Leeds would work.
Last November, the Government announced the electrification of the line linking to two cities as part of its Integrated Rail Plan (IRP). The announcement was the only piece of good news for Bradford in the plan, which effectively scrapped the Northern Powerhouse Rail line that would include a new station in Bradford.
Since then local politicians on Bradford Council and West Yorkshire Combined Authority have called for more information on this plan, questioning claims the work would reduce journey times between Bradford and Leeds to 12 minutes from the current 20.
