West Yorkshire city to get new railway station

The long-promised Northern Powerhouse Rail scheme will see £45bn of upgrades, with the first phase likely to see lines electrified and the construction of a new station in Bradford. There will also be upgrades to Leeds station and more frequent and faster connections to Sheffield and Manchester.
Yorkshire's Labour regional mayors described it as "a once in a generation commitment to improving transport across the North". An initial £1.1bn has been earmarked for design and preparation, with construction not expected to start until after 2030. Rima Ahmed is joined by the BBC’s Spencer Stokes to run through all the details of the new plans.
