Not quite sure how you think it has gone backwards. There wasn't 8 platforms either, 2 were disused. It was four tracked between platforms 1 and 4 but 1 was widened in 1991. I bet people who are frustrated (I commute from the station to work) would be complaining if it was completely closed so...

The new part of the Leeds Road bridge opened today.

Bradford interchange - Bell was still used until Mill Lane SB closed in late 2018.

The 1627 Leeds Halifax service is often a two car train these days. It's ridiculous. If they are wanting extra services like the Sheffield Flyer then they should make sure they have enough stock to alleviate the short formations particularly at peak times.

Yes it is but the subway will still be the main route to the other parts of the station when reopened.

Only so much can be done with a listed building.

More reinstating than extending, the roof at that end was removed around 1983. 1 Bay of the Euston roof has been removed at the manchester end of the station.

There is a man hole cover over the staircases at platform level.

Disagree, Bradford was the world's capital of the Woollen industry and still is to some degree at least the UK woollen capital. Both cities were equally important for what they specialised in. 1768417922 The Bowling avoiding line closed Sept 1985. 1768418110 The woollen industry is still very...

There is no room for another footbridge, totally agree. I always thought it a shame they closed the subway, even though it is still there.

I've heard of that happening. Yes, it will have been a WYPTE 321, they lived on the Leeds - Doncaster services.

Is it still an eventual plan to reopen platforms 1 - 4 on the Wellington Street or is this froth and flim flam?

CAF 'donated' a 6 figure sum to the Tories.

Nothing to do with the track. It is a case of the cl70 being somewhat too large for the tight curves

There are no toilets on the station at BDQ full stop.

The adjacent site was sold off in the 90s to the developers of retail park. The rest of the station site was sold to the owners of the Midland Hotel and The Inland Revenue. I believe NCP leased part of the site and concourse for a number of years as a car park when it stopped been used as a...

I completely agree. The current Forster Square station was designed in 1987 to be incorporated into a shopping development called Broadstones. In the end all that was built was the station and the retail park. The old station was retained for a year as an entrance but a spate of muggings ended...

Yes, as daft as it sounds. This end of the platform starts roughly where the old platform 1 ended

It's a daft site for the new pie in the sky station as realised when Aldophus Street station closed to passengers in the 1800s...

Yes and no - in terms of platforms it only lost two but it was a big downsize from the original building to what is there now.
