Create link between Bradfords two city centre stations to open a more direct route from Manchester to Leeds. Also increasing potential benefits of re-opening the Skipton to Colne line. 

Bradford has suffered greatly from having 2 train stations that are very poorly connected. This will boost the cities economy by creating a transport hub, also raising land values of lettable retail and office space and form a better 'centre' for Bradford. A positive knock on effect for surrounding suburban areas. An ideal addition to any Northern powerhouse rail project as Bradford is one of the largest metropolitan city’s in the UK.
