Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what discussions his Department has held with Transport for the North on including a Bradford station on the Northern Powerhouse Rail.

Northern Powerhouse Rail, sometimes called HS3, is the Government’s vision for dramatically faster and more frequent rail journeys across the North, to help build the Northern Powerhouse and strengthen the British economy.

The Department is working closely with Transport for the North to assess the case for Northern Powerhouse Rail (NPR) including whether the NPR network can serve key markets such as Bradford.
