    "Inside Number 9" - Wednesday 8th May.

    Believe it or not the episode is called La Couchette.

    Football

    I did wonder if they had approached Town, I suspect we might have declined though given our current predicament not wanting the pitch damaged for the important games v Swansea and Birmingham. I suspect there might have been a cost issue to Halifax as well in terms of catering given we don't...

    Transpennine Route Upgrade and Electrification updates

    If you want a good vantage point for photos of the station during the work, use the public footpath on top of the retaining wall above the compound. Not much is going on on at track level in terms of the removed deck as I passed on my way home from work in Leeds today, a couple of piles of...

    Football

    That's probably why the council are going to put it up for sale. I'm not surprised a reprimand and some kind of instruction from the National League hierarchy hasn't been forthcoming to get the pitch sorted out due to the number of postponements over the years. The Ebbsfleet one was a stinker...

    Transpennine Route Upgrade and Electrification updates

    There was a huge cutting, I mean a very deep, steep sided cutting there where the current earthworks are being undertaken, it was filled in during the 90's to make the cycle track, the cutting extended along under Whitacre Street and on to where it passed under Deighton Road, although not as...

    West Yorkshire Bus Franchising to go ahead

    First are just wasting their money and Oxera are guilty of, in effect, ripping them off, unless they know something we don't?

    Transpennine Route Upgrade and Electrification updates

    It didn't register this morning as to why it had been taped over, first time I've seen them this morning.

    First West Yorkshire & York discussion

    That is evident in regards to not improving the 372. Everything about First just seems a 'race to the bottom'.

    First West Yorkshire & York discussion

    Is it an improvement? There is no service in the Almondbury direction from 17.34 and 18.05 with a further 30 minutes before the next service at a time when people need to get home from work. Still no late night service so I can get home after the match Monday to Saturday, in fact it finishes...

    First West Yorkshire & York discussion

    Are you surprised given First's indifference and stagnation to their whole operations? The launch has been nothing short of diabolical really, surprised anyone has actually bothered catching the services. I caught the X1 from Elland from the B&M stop yesterday afternoon, it turned up on time...

    Transpennine Route Upgrade and Electrification updates

    I agree, if they had erected a notice in the area it must have been small as I hadn't noticed it. Even if they had let the club know who could have bobbed it on the club website, would have been something. I notice someone had mentioned it up thread but I hadn't seen it.

    Transpennine Route Upgrade and Electrification updates

    I'm assuming a second deck went on Red Doles Bridge yesterday as the footpath under the bridge over the canal was closed off yesterday much to the chagrin of a lot of football fans yesterday, leaving us with a long walk round to the stadium. There was a huge crane there and although I didn't...

    West Yorkshire Bus Franchising to go ahead

    You'd be surprised what an enigma catching the bus can be to people who don't catch them it regularly. Work colleagues have often asked me what to do 'it's been 30 years since I used one, what do I do?' let alone downloading an app.

    Transpennine Route Upgrade and Electrification updates

    As no one has even acknowledged the humour in your post, I will, it actually made me laugh out loud did that, even more than Darren Moore's tactics.

    New Station calendar

    I wouldn't be surprised if this is quietly shelved. Design changes and supply chain challenges?
