Mass transit means tram network - not better buses, says Chancellor
January 20, 2026
|Yorkshire Evening Post
The Chancellor has confirmed that the West Yorkshire mass transit system will be a tram network, saying it “does not mean a few better buses”.
Rachel Reeves backed Mayor Tracy Brabin's commitment to get spades in the ground by 2028, and pledged that commuters would be able to get trams between Leeds and Bradford in the 2030s.
The Chancellor made the comments after it was revealed that civil servants could overrule Ms Brabin and turn the mass transit system into a bus network.
