    Very interesting, I hope they extend the Dewsbury road protected bike lanes to link the city center and white rose will fully protect bike lanes. I feel the ride would be nice if a bit long.
    The trolleybus anniversary really feels a kick in the teeth as you know the ZEBRA fund won't go to trolleybuses and will just go to battery buses on Leeds city center or park-and-ride services.
    I appreciate the subtitles a lot, thank you for adding them.

    Do you think that Leeds can afford to have a tram system and to operate on some of the former railway lines and existing railway lines in and around Leeds and West Yorkshire. Including serving Bradford, Leeds Bradford Airport, Wakefield, Pontefract, Ossett, Huddersfield and to consist of tram and/or tram-train. Since HS2 Eastern Leg isn’t going to happen.

      I think that the WYCA and Leeds Gov could raise enough funds for maybe a line or two, but this I worry wouldn't help as to get people to use it the system would need to be affordable and useful as an alternative to travel to most of the city which two lines wouldn't really provide. For a project like you've suggested I'd expect some sort of external funding would be needed that could come in a similar form to how DLR got its funding.
