    Who are Yorkshire's big winners and losers in the NPR reboot? I'm genuinely confused.

    For those in the Calder Valley, the slow reversal in Bradford is a running joke, and I think puts people off. If, hypothetically there was an option of a journey via Dewsbury or Interchange with the same journey, I’d bet people would opt for the Dewsbury journey.

    Saltaire Platform Extension

    What about platforms 1 and 2 at Shipley, presumably they’re just impossible to do?

    How do you solve a problem like Bradford?

    FWIW, I believe that a new station and a through station, (ideallly connecting Airedale lines too but that’s probably unrealistic) is an incredibly positive albeit bold move. Bradford needs regeneration and change. Read about Bijlmer station in Amsterdam to see how a humble station can be a...

    Trivia: List of places with populations above 10,000 with no stations?

    Elland! 11000 or 14000 depending on the source!?

    Bradford Southern Gateway Station

    Is this the idea? (Obvs the pink!)

    Bradford Southern Gateway Station

    Twice a week, Shipley to Manchester Vic. ‍♂️. Direct or cross platform would be bliss. (At the moment of course, Northern is more reliable than TPX, and often half the price.)

    Proposed new station for Elland

    Think a number of the WYCA schemes inc Halifax station have been delayed until the cost of borrowing stabilised.
