>>2057860Leeds is a prime example.
Largest city in Europe to not have a metro/light rail system. It needs a tram system pre-metro that can be upgraded into a metro like Tyne & Wear. Trams can deal with pretty steep gradients so Leeds shouldn't be an issue.
Manchester, Birmingham & Glasgow could benefit from a proper metro. Sheffield needs another link to Manchester (not Woodhead) and a proper commuter rail service.
Additionally, a rolling program of electrification should be followed, and make it a legal requirement to meet _x_ stk per year so the Treasury and government can't cancel easily.
