A new super-tram network in Leeds and West Yorkshire is one step closer to becoming a reality.

The Chancellor Rachel Reeves announced yesterday that the mass transit system will receive £2.1 billion in funding to get it off the ground within a decade.

The cross-city tram network will connect Leeds and Bradford with dozens of towns and key landmarks in the two cities.
