I'm impressed with what WYCA and Leeds City Council are doing to create a cycle link from Headingley to the city centre.

Convo with my 8yo.

Me: "The Supreme Court said that as long as it's his core presidential duties, he can't be arrested"
Jonas: "The Supreme Court has gone mad"

Enjoyed an excellent “Open Space” knowledge exchange event on “Cities of Cultures” at Bradford University organised by WYCA.

More generally I just don't think WYCA is at the right geography to be useful. It's hard to make the argument IMO that Leeds is more economically connected to Keighley or Pontefract (within WYCA) than it is to York, Harrogate or Selby (outside WYCA). As a level of govt I find it a bit redundant!

Well at least it isn't as bad as the WYCA map with three Warringtons and two Huddersfields.
I’m concerned Amtrak doesn’t know where Kansas City is.

Hopefully WYCA is kicking up a fuss - it's on the map as part of WY Mass Transit too

🚏 It's been 12 long months of disruption for bus users but #Bradford Interchange is finally reopening tomorrow!

🟢 Now, @bradfordgreens.bsky.social councillors will be making sure there is a proper plan in place for a replacement - and that WYCA learn lessons from this.
'Relief' for thousands of passengers as Bradford Interchange bus station to reopen
Bradford Interchange bus station will finally reopen this weekend - bringing to an end a year of travel misery in the city.

The obvious solution is to let Local gov own it by reinstating the infrastructure levy that was originally part of the WYCA deal, allow Leeds* to borrow to fund it and allow councils full control over roads and what obligations are owed to the utilities that use them.

3/ Take WYCA. Before May, all five of its councils were Labour run. Now Reform UK controls Wakefield and Calderdale, will lead Bradford as a minority, and is the largest party in Kirklees (still unclear who will run things there). Labour also lost its majority in Leeds, but is still largest party.

The "national infrastructure pipeline " where good, necessary projects go to die.
DfT effectively saying to WYCA thanks but no thanks for the work you've done, now we're going to kill it off completely.

Well, Metro was the brand name for WYPTE from 74 on and then WYCA.

Maybe they needed a switch because the rising use of metro to mean mass transit would remind people that there isn't any here.

My own preference would be to call it
West Yorkshire Public Transport Network. It's snappy.

Unclear what the actual cause of the “delay” is. Seems odd that a major project would not already be under MPA supervision.
