The plans are out, many of Bradford’s MPs support it. Will this now be the time for Bradford Cross Rail (X-Rail)?
The plans outlined here, followed up on Saturday here.
BRUG Chairman James Vasey, speaking in the Telegraph & Argus:
It’s a very well planned proposal which has taken time, effort and money. It’s something the rail users’ group supports because it would be a new hub for transport in Bradford.
“We know we’re in a tight [financial] situation nationally, but if we can come back with a regeneration argument there will still be money around.
In the next few days, we will be gauging more opinion and expressions of support will be sought and published at our next meeting.
Previous suggestions for Cross Rail (X-Rail) have included a link between the two stations (similar to Manchester Piccadilly – Oxford Road). Arguments against those who think the scheme would be unsightly, please read this previous article.
A full presentation of the plans will be discussed at our next meeting: 7th June 2010, 7:30pm at Bradford CVS, Sunbridge Road, Bradford
