The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment her Department has made of the potential impact of the Bradford Interchange operating as a terminus on the operation of the railway; and what options are being considered to help reduce network delays arising from reversing services.

Answered by Keir Mather

The government is already working with Bradford Metropolitan Borough Council on station options, including consideration of the Bradford Interchange site, and has provided funding for business case development. We expect to take decisions on that by summer 2026.
