“The delivery of a comprehensive transport plan for the North was promised by the Liberal Democrats yesterday as the party looks to hold on to its Leeds North West seat.

The Lib Dems became the first of the main parties to explicitly commit to delivering the Transport for the North plan in their manifesto launched yesterday.
