News that outdated Pacer trains will still be being used after Christmas despite a promise to remove them from service in West Yorkshire by the end of the year has been criticised by rail users.

The unpopular Pacer trains will still be used on routes between Castleford and Huddersfield and on the York–Pontefract–Sheffield route, according to a report to West Yorkshire Combined Authority's transport committee.

James Vasey, from Bradford Rail Users Group, said: “This is really disappointing. The Secretary of State promised they would be gone at the end of the year.

"As always it's the poorer areas of the district that will continue to suffer, left with a second class, a third class rail infrastructure. It's terrible that a major city like Bradford is being put on the back-burner."

The same report also reveals that new services linking Bradford to key destinations like Manchester Airport and Liverpool will not be introduced in December as planned.

Reasons for the delays include insufficient capacity, a shortage of trains and a lack of staff working on Sundays, the report says.

Mr Vasey said: "It is not acceptable that a city our size is not connected by a direct line to any airport."

Bin lorries powered by energy from household waste are being trialled in Sheffield in what has been billed as a "world-first" for a local council.

The two electric lorries were originally powered by diesel, but have now been fitted with batteries, much like an electric car.

The lorry batteries will be charged using power generated by household waste at the Energy Recovery Centre in Bernard Road.

The incinerator burns 225,000 tonnes of rubbish per year which is then converted into electricity for thousands of homes.

Up to 80 of this type of lorry could be used in the city, according to the council.
