Page Title - up to 70 Characters

This is a description of the content that will sit on the page. Keep to one or two short sentences.

This is a H2 page title, this is where you need to add a heading regarding the content below.

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.

When adding a quote state the speaker as a H3 heading.

Speaking on the release of the IRP North Report, Tracy Brabin said:

When referring to an external report or webpage it is best practice to hyperlink to that page. For example when Talking about the IRP North report, you can link to the published report by highlighting the name of the report and clicking insert link

Or you can add a button call to action underneath the closing sentence by highlighting the word you want to make a button, clicking formats and selecting Button, and then centralising the button like the example below.

Tracy Brabin Mayor of West Yorkshire

That is not levelling up. Instead of new lines built for the 21st century, we’re being offered a 20th century upgrade to existing infrastructure.

Passengers in the North could face another decade of uncertainty and disruption as upgrades impact our existing services and create uncertainty for investors. This is not the Crossrail of the North.

The Government suggests that these improvements will be delivered quicker than the plans the North had proposed. Yet still thinks it needs another new study to get high speed trains to Leeds - how much longer will that take and is the last ten years not long enough?

The news about the Transpennine upgrade is welcome. But commitments to electrify the Transpennine route date back to 2011, and it is unclear from today’s document what exactly will be delivered and when. Likewise Midland Mainline electrification, announced again today, was committed in 2012 and then cancelled in July 2017.

Our people, our communities and our businesses need and deserve so much more.

I also welcome the support for our plans for a mass transit system for West Yorkshire. But we have been here before, with one government committing to the project, only for future ones to overturn it. Our region needs a long-term, multi-parliament commitment that will deliver on this promise. And mass transit is a not a substitute for an integrated rail network and nor will it take freight off our busy roads.
