New Generation Transport: Why Leeds needs a Modern Transport System

Following the cancellation of Leeds Supertram in 2005, Metro and Leeds City Council have been working in partnership to develop a high quality Rapid Transit system for Leeds.  Almost £250m of funding has been allocated to the New Generation Transport (NGT) trolleybus project, and the Department for Transport has accepted that the scheme has a strong business case.  The current Comprehensive Spending Review will re-evaluate the role that the NGT system has to play in Leeds and a decision will be taken in the autumn as to whether the scheme will go ahead or not.

This talk will provide an overview of the current status of the project and the impacts that its implementation will have locally and across the wider Leeds area.

Dave Haskins is the Assistant Director for Rapid Transit for Metro (West Yorkshire Passenger Transport Executive), based in Leeds.  He is the Project Director with responsibility for developing Rapid Transit projects including the £300m New Generation Transport (Trolleybus) and Tram-Train proposals for West Yorkshire and the wider Leeds City Region.

Dave has lived in the Leeds area for 15 years and has been in his current job for the last 6 of these, having previously worked for 15 years in private sector transport consultancy.  In this time he has played a key role in developing a number of funding bids for public transport schemes
