Pale, doughy, and a touch sad. Eat if peckish.
Summary
West Yorkshire's tram network plans have been delayed after a government review required the region to submit a formal business case before proceeding. Mayor Tracy Brabin had hoped to have "spades in the ground by 2028" by planning ahead of funding approval, but must now first make the economic case for trams. Despite the setback, Brabin remains confident the trams will be operational by the end of the 2030s.
