Passengers are tired of Yorkshire’s creaking, Victorian rail network. It’s time to invest in our railways, improve connectivity and turbocharge growth. At UKREiiF, we spoke about the opportunities our plan to transform rail will bring. Mayor Oliver Coppard Mayor of York and North Yorkshire, David Skaith

Better connections boost growth and open up access to jobs, skills and investment. It was great to visit Manchester with Bee Network as we progress work to build a modern, reliable transport network here in West Yorkshire. It's time for trams and we're determined to deliver 🚋

Rob Burrow’s legacy is a shining example of courage and hope. A true hero - he's an inspiration to so many, both on and off the pitch. My thoughts are with the Burrow family and all those who knew Rob.

Yorkshire's business leaders are clear - action must be taken to fix our broken rail network. From Leeds United (C) and Virgin Media O2 News, to The Piece Hall and Yorkshire Building Society, our region's heavyweights back us and are urging the government to invest in a modern railway for the North.

Giving mayors the power to ask visitors to pay a small fee to stay just makes sense. It would allow us to invest more into making our regions even better places to visit, unlocking opportunities to boost growth and help our businesses thrive. theguardian.com/uk-news/2025/j…

Great to continue the conversation with Rachel Reeves about the benefits a tram network will bring to our communities, our job market, and our economy – in West Yorkshire and beyond. Because if growth is the question, better transport is the answer. 🚋
