The West Yorkshire Combined Authority has launched a public consultation on options for two tram lines in the Leeds-Bradford area, mooted as the first stage of a long-awaited mass transit system.

The proposals follow high level plans set out by Mayor Tracy Brabin earlier this year and a pledge of £2.5bn redirected HS2 cash to ‘ensure delivery of a West Yorkshire Mass Transit System for Leeds and the wider area’.

The consultation brochure states: ‘Across the whole Mass Transit network, it is possible we will use a combination of different Mass Transit vehicle types.

'However, at the moment, we are proposing to use trams for phase one and are undertaking this consultation on that basis.’

The proposal is for two lines – a Bradford Line and a Leeds Line, with the first having three possible routes and the second having multiple possible combinations of options.
