Network Rail has revealed investments worth £45 billion nationally to upgrade rail tracks preventing disruption caused by severe weather including improvements to stations in and around Leeds.

The five-year rail improvement plan was announced earlier this week and is aimed at delivering a “simpler, better, greener” railway that is more geared up to cope with the extremes of climate change. £60 million will be spent on improving the rail network in Yorkshire, with major works carried out to rail lines and stations in Horsforth, Rotherham, Goole and Immingham.

Andrew Haines, Network Rail chief executive, said: “Climate change is the biggest challenge our railway faces. The extreme weather of the past year that has seen an unprecedented 14 named storms, has taken its toll on our railway – with experts predicting more of the same to come. “We are responding to that challenge with a huge investment in making our railway more resilient and better performing for rail users during such events.
