HC Deb 02 July 2002 vol 388 c201W
21. Colin Burgon

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what plans he has to encourage the opening of new suburban rail stops in the Leeds area. [63735]

Mr. Spellar

The Rail Passenger Partnership scheme administered by the Strategic Rail Authority helps fund new or enhanced rail services or facilities, including stations.

I understand that the West Yorkshire Passenger Transport Executive (PTE) has commissioned a study into five potential new stations as part of the proposed new Northern franchise.
