Bradford will get a brand-new city centre railway station at the Bradford Interchange site, the government has confirmed, replacing the outdated 1970s hub. Due in the 2030s as part of Northern Powerhouse Rail, it promises faster, more frequent trains to Leeds, Manchester and York. Bradford Council says, alongside a planned West Yorkshire tram network, it could unlock thousands of new homes and £1bn in benefits.
