Network Rail is completely remodelling the track layout between platforms 4 and 6, which will make it easier for more trains to enter and exit Yorkshire’s major transport hub.

1/1 TRAIN fare dodgers from Bradford or those using stations across the district have been ordered by the courts to pay more than £9,000 for fares worth £858.80 in the last six months. Magistrates Courts have fined 21 people in total over that period for travelling on the railway without paying a fare. This includes not having a valid ticket to show when reaching a destination and failing to hand over a ticket for inspection while on the train. The journeys made by these individuals includes: travelling from Ipswich to Bradford, Bradford Interchange to Blackpool and from London Kings Cross to Leeds. Five other people were also being dealt with by Magistrates Courts, but three had their offences withdrawn, two cases were dismissed due to no evidence offered and one hearing has been adjourned until June.
