Tracy Brabin, Mayor of West Yorkshire, said: "Yorkshire's business leaders are clear that action must be taken to fix the region's broken rail network.

"From Leeds United and Virgin Media O2, to The Piece Hall and Yorkshire Building Society, our region's heavyweights back us and are urging the Chancellor to invest in a modern railway for the North.

"We're clear that this is the way to accelerate economic growth, boost investment and the creation of well-paid jobs and put more money in people's pockets."
