The West Yorkshire Combined Authority are seeking public feedback after revealing plans to build a new rail station on the existing Harrogate line. The new station, 'Leeds Bradford Airport Parkway', would be between Horsforth Station and the southern end of the Bramhope tunnel and aims to provide an interchange to serve Leeds Bradford Airport and the proposed employment hub. And the public are able to offer feedback until midnight on 21st February, with the proposals already being developed and updated based upon feedback received last year.
