The IRP included £100 million for work to look at the most effective way to run HS2 trains to Leeds, including understanding the optimal solution for capacity at Leeds station, and starting work on the West Yorkshire Mass Transit System.

We intend to publish the terms of reference for the HS2 to Leeds Study soon, which will provide more information on the options under consideration.
