Metro presses on with Low Moor

摘要

Despite failing to win funding from DfT's New Stations Fund (RB1439 p2),West Yorkshire 1TA has confirmed its commitment to building a station at Low Moor between Bradford Interchange and Halifax.'Preparatory work by Metro and Bradford Council shows that a new station would generate significant local benefits in the surrounding Low Moor area,but the department's business case criteria for the New Stations Fund didn't take this work into account',said Metro Chairman Councillor James Lewis.He added that it was 'because of those strategic economic and social benefits',as well as the improved access to rail services that the station would provide,'that Metro and its partners remain committed to this key Bradford project'.
