    Bomb squad, Leeds city centre

    There is a bomb alert in the centre of Leeds. The station is still accessible, just but the cordon starts right at the exit from the station. It looks like the danger area wont affect any of the lines in and out though... Might be tricky actually getting to the station though as buses are really...

    A query about Delay Repay

    Yes I know, not another one... but this one seems odd to me in a good way. Friend was travelling over from Manchester to Leeds and was caught up in the switch/points failure on the 13th Sept. There was also other issues getting back home which were quite significant and the train ended short...

    Garforth to Goole permitted routes

    Hello all... I'm looking at season tickets, and getting a little confused. It's the first time I've dived into the routeing guide and could do with a little help... Season ticket prices from Garforth to Goole. An any permitted route is somewhat cheaper, than a route that is constrained to go...

    Leeds ticket office.

    Bit of an odd one this I guess... I'm taking a party of Scouts on a rail journey soon and part of the objective is to get them to think for themselves - so they have to go buy their own tickets, get the right destinations etc... I'd rather the first time though they used a ticket office rather...

    Shipley triangle..

    I had to change trains at Shipley for the first time this weekend. Normally I am on a through train on the rare occassions I go that way. It was... confusing to start with. I've never seen any triangular stations inside a Y junction before. Are there any others in the UK - it seems an elegant...
