Page 17 of today's Telegraph & Argus has a good article about the station which hopes to open in 5 years time. Bradford and Leeds council will have to acquire property to build the new route. Can all this be done in five years time?

Would I be right in thinking that Bradford is the only place to see both railway stations truncated?

I appear to have got myself in trouble tonight and need help. I was visiting my old school in Frizinghall (Bradford Grammar school) and rather than use the free bus pas, I decided to walk the short journey to Frizinghall and catch the train into Bradford for the sake of nostalgia. I walked onto...

Does anyone know why this particular procedure is so painful and time consuming for conductors and station staff? Yesterday me and the my wife traveled with our railcards and missed the last off-peak train, so had to get the first peak train. The difference in price was 70p each, which I agree...

I’m waiting at Bradford Interchange for the 10:18 service to Leeds which is running late by 10 minutes due to “not stopping in the correct position on the platform earlier” I have never heard this announcement given as a reason for the delay. Does anyone know what it actually means?

Does anyone know what type of train engine the two are in the sidings at the scrapyard just outside Shipley train station. Every since the late 70s I've noticed them in the exact same position unmoved and unloved. Any help would be appreciated . eric

Does anyone know what the problems are at Leeds station? I've been sat on a train outside the train station for nearly 20 minutes and the guard hasn't communicated anything other than we should be on our way shortly.

Hi everyone, I feel I already know the answer to this but I thought I would ask the knowledgeable posters on here. Can I still claim delay repay for the following - my train into Birmingham New Street arrived 17 minutes late, meaning my connection time had gone down to just five minutes...

Hopefully this will make sense. Earlier on today I was traveling back from Birmingham to Leeds on advanced tickets, but my final destination was Bradford. I asked the Cross Country train manager when he inspected my ticket for a single to Bradford but he said he didn’t have the facility to...

Slightly concerned by what the women in the travel centre have just told me. They claim that when the redevelopment of the new Forster Square station is complete that there won't be a ticket office/travel centre anymore as Northern are replacing it with four new ticket machines and gate staff...

Spoke to one of the TPE managers today after another frustrating day of delayed trains and trains missing out stations because they were ridiculously late. He said that someone high up has finally admitted that the new timetables aren't working and that a solution to reverse them was being sought.

I was at the Interchange earlier today when a class 150 bound for Manchester Victoria slammed and screeched the brakes on, right at the end of Platform three because the route indicator had been set to B and the Branch line to Leeds. Who would have been at fault if the driver had continued to...

I see the front page of today's T&A has news of a bid to push for electrification of the Calder Valley line. How long is the line and what sort of money are we talking? If they can electrify Preston to Blackpool then they certainly should do the Calder Valley line...

Is there any scope to add more platforms in the future or is the current six platforms the maximum the station will ever have?

I noticed today at Leeds that the Scot Rail 170s and 158s have entered service with some on the Leeds - Nottingham and York - Preston. How many units are Scot Rail cascading down to Northern? Will this mean the 144s and 142s are heading for the scrap heap?

I've just witnessed the most unfortunate accident. An elderly lady was attempting to board the train with her dog and the dog went under between the platform and the train. The driver immediately raised the alarm with whoever was at control, but before they could stop the trains in both...

On a TPE service to Manchester Airport and everytime we stop the driver gets out of the front cab and walks the full length of the train before opening the doors. I didn't know TPE had started doing driver only services, unless this is a one off due to no conductor?

Can someone tell me what is going on at Shipley? We've just been told to get off the train on platform four as there's two broken down trains at Bradford Foster Square? Conductor tells us to go to Platform five, where for the last 30 minutes about 150 people have waited for a train which has...

Sorry to report that this unfortunate incident happend tonight after the conductor slipped on the ice and snow and went under the train at Shipley on Platform 5. Can anyone who works in the industry let me know how he is? He was taken away in an ambulance. Why the platform wasn't gritted is...

I witnessed this nearly happen at New Pudsey station. The conductor had closed the doors and got back on the train via the slam door at the rear of the train. The conductor then realised something was obstructing the doors nearest the vestibule and went to close them. Once they were closed the...
