🚊It's time for trams. Since the announcement, I've been lobbying Government to accelerate the delivery of trams in West Yorkshire. I won't stop until that happens.

For the people of West Yorks, the #TimeForTrams is long overdue. This delay is really regrettable, for all those people waiting for the transformation trams can bring. We hope, though, that a closer partnership with govt will lead to a better scheme. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c78v…

Leeds-Bradford £2.5bn tram plan delayed after government review

West Yorkshire's mayor says she is confident the trams will be running "by the end of the 2030s".

Today we have made the biggest ever investment in our buses, trams and trains in city regions in the north and midlands. Because when we said we would make all parts of the country better off, we meant it.

#TimeforTrams in West Yorkshire. @RachelforLWP knows that to grow the economy across the country we must invest in transport in the regions. Not only to connect communities to jobs and opportunities but to create good well paid jobs outside of London and the South East. 💪🏻🚆

A Britain that is better off cannot rely on a handful of places forging ahead of the rest of the country. Today we are investing billions in transport projects across the North, Midlands and West of England. Change promised. Change delivered.

We compared 3 French cities (which have trams) with 3 similar UK cities (which don't): Dijon & Oxford Bordeaux & Hull Montpellier & Bournemouth Could the UK cities have trams too, & what benefits would they bring? #TimeForTrams Here's what we found out! bettertransport.org.uk/blog/…

Look at the difference trams can make!

We're sharing our vision for a new tram network.🚊 This investment is part of our ambitious plans to help to unlock £11 billion of growth for the UK economy and could support our plans for the delivery of 60,000 new homes. Let’s get spades in the ground by 2028. #TimeForTrams

Today our @msolwilliams is in #Bournemouth, together with @createstreets, to discuss the prospect of bringing trams to the Solent. Wouldn't that be a brilliant way of moving people efficiently & comfortably, cutting congestion and helping the planet? It's #TimeForTrams!
