Devastating.
Mayor Tracy Brabin has slammed a rail operator and called on ministers to do more after tens of thousands of journeys are predicted to be cancelled this year.
Analysis by the West Yorkshire Combined Authority has found that without improvement this will mean a total of 23,153 cancellations over the course of 2023. First Group’s rail chief Steve Montgomery, owner of TransPennine Express, said that passengers must continue suffering through the “pain barrier” when Mayor Brabin asked when passengers should expect to see improvements.
“This is shocking and the government must hear our calls, finally get a grip and bring this situation under control. A full-functioning public transport network is crucial to our plans to boost the economy, achieve our climate ambitions and provide people with the opportunity to get on in life. The company’s current contract ends in May, and government officials are also considering whether to offer it a new eight-year deal to continue operating services.
