Railway Stations: West Yorkshire

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, how many months the opening of White Rose Station will take place after the original project timetable.

Answered by Keir Mather

White Rose Station forms part of the West Yorkshire Combined Authority’s (WYCA’s) City Regions Sustainable Transport Settlement (CRSTS)programme. CRSTS provides eligible city regions with a simplified, integrated and long-term funding settlement, enabling local leaders to plan and invest in their transport priorities. As is the case for the majority of CRSTS schemes, responsibility for the development and delivery of the White Rose Station scheme, including decisions relating to project scheduling and delivery timelines, rests with WYCA.
