  • "Government Transport Millions for Leeds Must Be Used for Mass Transit Scheme and Not Squandered on Smaller Measures” Says Leeds MP
    All Party Parliamentary Light Rail Group House of Commons London SW1A 0AA Light Rail & Trams, Affordable & Sustainable Transport “The past we inherit, the future we build ourselves” ”TramTrain does it Greener and Cheaper on lightly used railway lines and in the streets” "Government transport millions for Leeds must be used for mass transit scheme and not squandered on smaller measures” says Leeds MP October 27, 2016 10:41 AM Leeds North West MP Greg Mulholland has written to Leeds City Council and the Department for Transport demanding that the £173.5 million, allocated for the now- defunct Next Generation Transport (NGT) scheme, is actually used for a mass transit scheme for Leeds and not squandered on smaller scale improvements, which seems to be what Leeds City Council are going to propose. Greg has also criticised the council for a "profound lack of leadership" over this vitally important issue and warned that they are in danger of wasting this one-off opportunity to finally secure a mass transit system for Leeds. It is clear that Leeds City Council have refused to plan for a mass transit scheme despite claiming to support one and have failed to bring together civic leaders to back such a plan.

  • Tram-Trains Or Heavy Rail
    Harrogate Line: Tram-Trains or Heavy Rail A summary of the advantages & disadvantages of alternative rolling stock on the Harrogate Line between Leeds, Harrogate and the Airport TRAM-TRAIN DIRECT TO THE AIRPORT? This paper outlines the current plans and initiatives already being implemented for the Leeds-Harrogate- York rail corridor which could be jeopardised by the Tram-trains proposed by Greg Mulholland MP for Leeds North-West. He proposes that new tram-trains should be used on street-running track within Leeds City Centre, which would then share the Harrogate Line heavy rail track to beyond Horsforth where a new light rail track would be laid up to the Airport Terminal Building and potentially onward to Bradford. The disadvantages of tram-trains are summarised on pages 2 & 3. HARROGATE LINE PLANS CURRENTLY BEING IMPLEMENTED • The existing 30 min. frequency services between Leeds and Harrogate are being enhanced to an all-day 15 min. frequency in the current Northern Rail franchise from December 2017. • It is expected that a 10 minute frequency will be required to meet peak demand during the next decade. • The planned rolling stock will be provided using refurbished 100mph Class 170 diesel multiple units (DMUs) cascaded from Scotrail plus refurbished Class 150 DMUs from the existing Northern Rail fleet. These will provide a significant increase in the net volume of seats available to commuters when the new timetable is implemented in [2018] • Virgin Trains East Coast will also operate new services between London and Harrogate at two- hourly intervals from 2019. These will be operated using the new high speed IEP trains now being built by Hitachi.
