This is great news, and long overdue. I was at Bradford Interchange yesterday - with four platforms, no through lines and very limited facilities, it feels like a small town station serving 20,000, not the primary station serving a population of half a million. secretmanchester.com/new-northern...

I never get the point of signs like this - what am I meant to do? Turn back? Keep my head down? Any shooting/stalking activities should be signed on the day, giving locations and suggesting alternative routes where necessary. We all want to do the right thing so please make it easy for us!
