So the staff car park is going? I miss the days when Leeds City just had 11 platforms.

Although in a perceived poorly wrote tweet, I was thinking of someone or a safety hazard on board in the carriages endangering the lives of passengers. Something which the driver would be oblivious to happening until perhaps it was too late.

The RMT have a valid point though. What happens when the train is DOO and there is a major incident/accident?

I don't want to bash Northern for Northerns sake but where are all the trains? Leeds and Bradford has a massive flow and every train should four carriages minimum. Not a single 150, 158 or 144 under the wires or from the Interchange. How have Northern let them all run into despair?

It’s utterly disgraceful Timrud. Bradford and Leeds are two of the biggest cities in the country and basically swallow each other up if you include Shipley and Pudsey. To have these inadequate two carriage trains that are over 25 years old shouldn’t be happening. I’m not moaning for moaning...

This was earlier at Bradford, I can honestly say I’ve never seen the train services in West Yorkshire as bad as they currently are.

Yes that was the service. The pictures on social media looked horrendous.

Looking at Northerns twitter a three car 144 worked the 17.16 Leeds - Skipton leaving over 100 people behind yesterday. This simply wouldn’t happen in London or the south. It’s a disgrace that Northern treat their passengers like this. Utterly disgraceful.

Just been to the Ilkley book fair and so far I’ve seen numerous diesels running under the wires. Travelled on a 144 and back on a 150, felt like I wasn’t retired and had gone back in time 30years. I take it the 333 units are having problems?

But shouldn’t the anytime short return be cheaper than the anytime return? I never knew people were abusing the anytime return return portion anymore with the new ticket capture gates and revenue staff. I know someone who once was travelling on a London - Edinburgh train and they found the...

He’s in the T&A today talking about the new market taking over Marks and Spencer on Darley Street. When I went to one of the council meetings a couple of months ago, I asked where the new central station was being built and he said they would fight tooth and nail for a new central station...

I think the plan is to open to the old main station building.

What is this new ticket that Northern are selling? Offpeak short return and Anytime short return on the ticket machine was £2 and £4 more than the Anytime day return. Why does the railway like to complicate things.

I'd rather get a pacer than a rust bucket 150. Worst train design ever.

Where is the new hourly Leeds - Bradford - Halifax stopper going to go?

How much would 12 miles cost to build as single track?

That Alex Ross-Shaw says the tunnel is still happening.

The new platform extension at Hebden Bridge looks great.

Bradford to Blackpool used to be around 1 hour 50 minutes, and now it's 2 hours 25 mins/35 mins depending what train you catch, so an extra 40 minutes inconvenience. Strangely on the national rail planner it now offers you via Leeds and Manchetser for more money and nearly an hour longer. Madness.

I'd much rather visit Bridlington or Scarborough but the wife wanted to see the illuminations. Rather than start a new thread, does anyone know if Northern plan to raise the height of the tables on the class 158 units? I'm quite a tall man and I've found myself straining my back when sat at...
