Bradford’s connections with some of the North’s largest cities, including Leeds, Manchester and York, will be transformed as passengers will be able to benefit from more frequent trains, improved journey times and reliability.
The Bradford Interchange site unlocks the potential to regenerate Bradford’s Southern Gateway, and in tandem with the proposed West Yorkshire Mass Transit, would support thousands of new homes, jobs and up to £1 billion in economic benefits.
The announcement marks a major milestone in the delivery of Northern Powerhouse Rail (NPR) and the government’s mission to drive growth in every postcode.
The station will also become part of Great British Railways (GBR), the new publicly owned railway that will bring track and train together, helping deliver a more reliable, efficient and passenger-focused railway.
