The government agrees to re-examine the case for a new railway station in Bradford.
Plans for a new railway station in Bradford will be reconsidered after the government previously scrapped them.
When the Integrated Rail Plan was unveiled in 2021, it included cutting much of HS2's eastern leg and scaling back NPR, including plans for a new station and line in Bradford. The committee had argued that the department had not properly tested alternative options to its proposals and had left out analysis of wider economic "levelling up" impacts of different options for NPR.In its response, DfT said: "A re-assessment of the evidence for better connecting Bradford and the case for [building] a new station will now form part of the NPR development programme and the HS2 to Leeds study.
Ms Brabin said the government had made a mistake excluding the plans in 2021 and that the news was a "welcome u-turn".
