region’S MAYOR CONVENES TRANSPORT SUMMIT South Yorkshire and regions like it were promised a ‘London-style transport network’ by 2030. That’s just over 350 weeks away. But with bus cuts looming, and cancelled trains making commuting miserable for thousands across the North, many places feel further away from that than they ever were.
