Nearly half of all trains to Leeds are either delayed or cancelled, according to a recent study.
A total of 42 per cent of all services fail to reach the city’s central station on time, data from On Time Trains suggests. The figure was cited in a Leeds City Council report, as the authority’s leading Conservative took a swipe at the government over the cancellation of HS2. Although HS2’s eastern leg linking Birmingham to Leeds was officially pulled in 2021, a long-awaited study looking at how high-speed trains could still reach Leeds finally started this summer.
“I can understand, given how costs have spiralled out of control with HS2, why the decision has been taken, but it’s not a glorious way of getting here from the government I have to say.” Coun Lamb said that “governments of all colours” had failed to deliver good transport infrastructure for the north, citing the last Labour administration’s refusal to back a tram system for Leeds in the 2000s.
