Greater Manchester’s rail passengers could be stuck with reduced timetables and outdated infrastructure ‘for a decade’, fear northern leaders.
PLANS for a Northern Powerhouse Rail (NPR) station in Bradford city centre would be a ‘game changer’, according to the city’s businesses bosses. Bradford Business Improvement District (BID) has backed the proposal, saying it would bring investment and jobs to the district. Earlier this month, Bradford Council Leader, Councillor Susan Hinchcliffe, unveiled plans for a new railway station in Bradford that would extend the city centre and open in 2030. The plans are supported by the T&A which launched its On The Right Track campaign last month. The new station, which would replace Bradford Interchange, would be located where Saint James’s Market currently is, off Wakefield Road and Essex Street. It would form a vital part of NPR - an ambitious project to connect the north with a new rail network.

A BRADFORD councillor is hoping to “champion and celebrate” women from across the district as she prepares to host a special Zoom event this evening. Councillor Fozia Shaheen, of the Toller ward, has stressed the importance of recognising women’s “successes and achievements” – especially amid the pandemic – following on from International Women’s Day earlier this week. Cllr Shaheen, who is also the founder and director of Dream Big Aim High – a Girlington-based organisation which aims to support people with issues around mental health, learning disabilities, education, fitness and employment – added that many of the women who have been working tirelessly on the frontline against coronavirus are often overlooked.
