Today, we’re delivering hundreds of letters to councillors across West Yorkshire.
We're asking them to support our call for a tram network that serves every part of the region, not just the Leeds-Bradford corridor.

The Liverpool City Region says it's testing a new rapid transit vehicle.
But everyone else knows what this is: a bus.
West Yorkshire's leaders are looking to sneak the same fudge in here too in Dewsbury, Bradford, Huddersfield, Halifax, Wakefield, and North Leeds.

If we’re going to protect West Yorkshire communities from an economic recession, air pollution, and climate change, then we need a bigger, bolder, faster plan for a mass transit system.

In 2005 they cancelled the Leeds Supertram — imagine where the city would be if it had gone ahead...

Unsurprisingly to folk who follow pedestrianisation:
