    Problems in the Sheffield area (30/05)

    The Northern ticket acceptance doesn't help anyone. Cross-country can't run past Meadowhall. Transpennine via any reasonable route... So via Manchester? Only help really is getting to Rotherham, which still. Surely getting ticket acceptance with LNER from Doncaster to Leeds for Northern...

    Bradford Interchange Bus Station closed until further notice

    I've spoken to some people they ha e lived in Bradford all their life, and they don't know where it is. I can honestly see the Interchange getting pulled down and it becoming another Broadway fiasco, with a hole in the ground for years. The council will blame the railway and the railway will...

    XC Voyager Refurbishment

    I believe the original plan was Nottingham to Bradford, but fast between Sheffield and Leeds. Northern Connect I think it was going to be part of.

    Bradford Interchange Bus Station closed until further notice

    When the bus depot where the problems are at the moment closed, plans were in place to make it a private/public car park but was withdraw to to issues found. So these issues have been known for a long time. Issues that they have chosen to ignore time and time again until it bit them on the arse.

    Bradford Interchange Bus Station closed until further notice

    Like I've said before, the place has had problems since the new bus station was opened. One of the reasons why the bus depot downstairs closed, apart from space is repairs that had been carried out due to flooding. The lower part of the Interchange isn't designed for the new construction on...
