WEST
Yorkshire leaders are set to give the go-ahead for the first phase of a project seeing a new rail station and improved cycling and walking infrastructure built in Elland.The new station will be added to the Calder Valley line to improve the town's transport links with the wider region and beyond, including Leeds, Huddersfield, Bradford and Manchester, says West Yorkshire Combined Authority (WYCA).
Approval of walking and cycling improvements will allow works to start this year, ensuring progress is made on this key project before final approval for the station is sought later in 2026.
A new way of delivering the rail station itself will also be discussed at the WYCA meeting on March 12.
