Leeds is one of the UK’s most strategically important city regions. It is halfway between London and Edinburgh, and Liverpool and Hull. Its network of road and rail connections are a big potential competitive strength.
It is home to the busiest railway station in England outside London, and Leeds-Bradford International Airport (LBIA) is one of the UK’s fastest growing regional airports. The A1, M1 and M62, three of the UK’s busiest roads, crisscross the region, offering easy north-south and east-west access.
