Sorry but your wrong on the cost of the A56 Bypass, this is 3X as much as the rail project, and the rail project would cost even less, once all the details are in place, with most of the funds comming from the Private sector, (Not PPP), the cost comes down even further, due to the fact its...

Yes it would, by giving extra Capacity, by providing a Direct link from Leeds to Manchester, via the Aire Valley and East Lancashire Rail corridor, also going via the Todmorden Curve, we know that you would have journey time savings for all of those that live along the Aire Valley, getting to...
