💨 Abstract

Lord Blunkett has proposed a £14 billion plan to enhance Yorkshire's railway system, known as Yorkshire’s Plan for Rail. Key points include expanding capacity in Leeds, Sheffield, and York, building new stations in Bradford and Rotherham, electrifying the Leeds-Sheffield line, and increasing service frequency. The first phase requires £2.4 billion in government investment by 2030, plus £2.5 billion for West and South Yorkshire tram networks.
