In Leeds I'd suggest: On a sunny day Water Lane Boathouse if sat outside you can get a good view of trains coming into platforms 15, 16 and 17 The roof bar at the Doubletree Hotel offers good views over the western end of the station, shame the balcony isn't on that side of the hotel. The...

For me I'm try and reuse some of the old Leeds New line and run a tram towards Morley up via Gildersome. I'd have a terminus at Birstall and use land adjacent to the M62/M621 for a major park and ride. As for the ill-fated northern line that was proposed for Otley Road. I'd scrap that and run a...

What an utterly moronic statement, what does the facilities mean in contrast to this? I've seen just as many drunk unsociable people in Piccadilly as I've seen in Leeds, many London stations and other large stations all over the country. Any ways from the horses mouth (a member of BTP) the...

Having gone through a period of time at work five years ago where I was travelling around the country I've witnessed a few incidents. My personal favourite was the cheek of one chap. As mentioned travelling a lot I always ended up with a wallet full of used tickets. Mainly receipts or...

The removal of the three units in Leeds is just the start of the future of the redevelopment to the station. Bruntwood are to begin the external reclad of City House above the station. This will tie in with a link into the building from within the station itself (internal refits of the bui,ding...

Back in the days of having to commute into Leeds on the odd day I got particularly fed up of waiting to buy tickets on the bridge or on platform 1. I think my longest wait was 30 minutes, so I'd book tickets online and collect from the machines as I was leaving Leeds for the next time I needed...

Birmingham New Street to Leeds. Leeds to Littleborough

There's actually a footpath in that field that runs to a small bridge under the track and then again over the track further along that joins to a path at the other side of the tracks and runs to the White rose shopping centre. I've seen regular patrols of this area as there was problems with it...

Having to use both companies on a weekly basis I'd always pick East Coast over Virgin. I just tends to be a more comfortable ride. I've found reliability better with East Coast too apart from the odd lines down with East coast. The view along the coast North of Alnmouth is also second to none...

Coming into Leeds from the east is rather grim. It's ok upto Crossgates, but then it's just back to backs and 60s council estates as far as the eye can see, although it's interspersed by Neville Hill but then the dark cutting along the side of east end park is grim. Gets better then though once...

And also breaking the law! I wanted to install phone jammers for work related reasons in sensitive areas. It appears as the jammers emit a radio signal under UK law it's is legal to own a jammer but illegal to use it. This would explain why we haven't seen them fitted to quiet coaches. In fact...

Indeed there is a line that runs along the back of the Southstand at Castleford. Used to live it as a kid watching the trains going past on the only time of year I was there to see classy Cas get thumped by Leeds :lol: Other RL grounds you could see into that I've visited are Warrington (well...

Sounds like another narrow minded bradfordian

There's a lot planned to happen at Leeds train station to alter the southern concourse. Firstly Bruntwood are look to reclad city house over the station so that it's wholly glass. This will really change that building from its 60s concrete monstrosity...

Lots of changes for the station in the near and distant future that came out of a recent even in Leeds (nabbed from sky scraper city) Short Term Burger King has been given notice on its lease. It will be removed and the door areas will be refurbished and the canopy outside will be refurbished...
