Why does Bradford need Northern Powerhouse Rail?

Supporters' Messages

As the main airport connecting Yorkshire to the rest of the world and being only 11km from Bradford city centre, a fast, reliable and high capacity NPR connection to the city is key to the future economic prosperity of Bradford and the Airport.

Charles Johnson Head of Planning Development at Leeds Bradford Airport

A city centre station and through service will be transformational for Bradford and has the ability to be a powerful contributor to the economic future and social well being of the city, the district and the wider region. A once in a lifetime opportunity that should not be lost.

Gerald Jennings Chairman of the West and North Yorkshire Chamber of Commerce

I have recently moved my business from London to Bradford because I believe in the city, the people and the expertise that can be drawn from them. It is about time that Bradford is re-positioned to take on more of a leading role for the city and for the region.
