Leaders at Calderdale Council to add their voice to transport row
The authority looks set to write to Mr Grayling asking for a clear timetable for the delivery of a new high speed east-west rail service across the North.
Calderdale Council will also demand the Government stands by its promise to electrify the main trans-Pennine route and call for a commitment to upgrade the Calder Valley line.

Hide AdCouncillors are set to vote on a motion agreeing to the sending of the letter at a meeting tonight (Thursday).
It follows a summer of anger directed at Mr Grayling from the North of England following a series of transport announcements.
Council leaders were particularly incensed by suggestions the full electrification of the trans-Pennine route may not now go ahead.
