I think both Forster Square and the Interchange could do with an extra platform. It's become noticeable that when coming from Manchester into Bradford you are kept at the last signal before the platforms. The other day we waited a good five minutes for a platform because there were two class...

But what are these trains doing in the platforms? Are they extra peak services? If they are I've not heard anything about extra peak services. It seems ridiculous to have them there for the majority of the day. I guess better than having them stuck in the bays at Leeds but that's a long way to...

I've been to Euston many times and always found my walk to the train to be undercover and thus stopping any chance of getting soaking wet from the elements.

For a major city station, Forster Square is simply inadequate. This isn't just some end of the line halt but a major interchange station with over 2 million passengers a year.

It was yesterday afternoon. The weather in Bradford was biblical and both platforms one and two had parked up 333s in the platforms so everyone for Leeds or Ilkley had to go right down to the end of the platform which of course doesn't have a roof. Last week they were only stacking in platform...

why have Northern started stacking trains on platforms one and two at Forster Square? The extra walk down the platform for the train means you are exposed to the elements like today.

What a selfish and ridiculous idea. Let's have even more people changing at Shipley.

How would help the situation at Leeds? You would have more trains on the through platforms which are nearly at capacity in the peaks.

Interesting. Thank you

There use to be two booths under the tunnel just before you got to Smiths on the right. I think from posters comments on here that the new gate line is going back to the atms before Boots in the corner. That will mean Smiths is on platform 8?

Because I'm not a spring chicken anymore and when the people in control start stacking the services and one of the triangle services can't get on the platform it was originally allocated, people get annoyed having to go back and across the footbridge. I use Leeds two to three times a week and...

Why can't Leeds have dedicated platforms for trains? The Ilkley and Skipton have started using 10, 11 and 12 again due to the congestion on 1,2,3,4,5 and 6.

They also need to sort out the congestion at the gates. Having 150 plus people in the peaks all stood directly in front of the gates looking at the platform 8/6 monitors for the London bound train is ridiculous.

Blackpool North - Leeds on a 150. Awful experience.

How far back is the new platform coming in towards the main entrance? Will it stop before the waiting room on platform one? On a sour note, the blocking is still happening. Would you class 7.00pm as peak? A late running Harrogate blocked my Forster Square service for 10 minutes on platform...

So the 21 past cancelled and with the Summer Bash finished everyone crush loaded onto the 17 past to Leeds which was a single 150. I still stand by my Northern are a disgrace comment.

Happened again last week on platform 5 with a Knaresborough service blocking my train to Bradford for a good 10 minutes. Although rare I've seen LNER services go from platform 1

All Blackpool to Manchester cancelled yesterday. My son and grandson went to Blackpool for the summer bash and said coming back was the trip from hell. Northern running a 150 from Blackpool to Leeds which was standing only. Disgraceful how northern think running 150s on Blackpool to Leeds...

There's a group of feral children currently running and playing on the line between Leeds and Bramley holding up trains. I don't know how the drivers stay so calm in these situations. Train advances 30 ft and then they move back on the line. Hopefully, transport police come and get them.

With longer trains, they won't fit on the platforms with all the parked and stacked trains. Another two 158s (one a ScotRail) parked up in platform five today.
