It's not a conspiracy. It's called saving money. Better to spend money on crossrail etc than on northern outposts.
Eventually though people have enough of being short changed. That's the point of my rant. The figures in this report (which in my opinion is complete waste of money) clearly show, beyond any doubt, that West Yorkshire has been short changed in regard to its transport infrastructure. It languishes not by a few percent but massive percentages.
A 10 year old could tell you that £billions need to be thrown at it now not a few filter bus lanes.
Funny isn't it that in this day and age where the government are pushing the public to use public transport this report is asking for a road to be built first - that's how far behind we are.
Leeds planned to be connected to HS2 and HS3 and yet you cant even get to its own airport despite a railway line running very close by.
