Bradford Interchange

The Interchange's train station remains open with rail services and ticket kiosks unaffected.

A smoking ban is observed in all parts of Bradford interchange, and CCTV is also in operation with security officers and police regularly patrolling the station.

[4] All tracks run south out of the station about 600m to the Mill Lane junction where the westbound and eastbound routes separate.

[7] The railway station was completely rebuilt on the same site in 1880 with ten bay platforms and two arched roofs.

Constructed of wrought iron, these rested at the outer sides on plain stone walls and classical corinthian style columns down the middle.

In its 1920s heyday, it served routes to Wakefield Westgate via Ardsley (used by many of the city's through trains to London King's Cross), Wakefield Kirkgate via Batley and Ossett, Keighley & Halifax via Queensbury, Mirfield via Cleckheaton (the Spen Valley Line) and to Leeds via the Pudsey Loop in addition to the current lines.

Monday to Saturday during the daytime, services run every 15 minutes between the Interchange and Leeds and hourly onwards to both York and Hull (the latter introduced at the winter 2019 timetable change).

The station now also sees regular services to London King's Cross via Low Moor, Halifax, Brighouse, Mirfield, Wakefield, Pontefract and Doncaster.

In January 2009, Grand Central had its application for train paths to run a Bradford Interchange to London service accepted by the Office of Rail Regulation.

[13] Four trains per day operate, now that full approval for the service has been granted;[14] these use Class 180 units and started running from 23 May 2010.

[15][16] The bus stands were once more plentiful and originally featured a large 'ridge and furrow' glass roof,[17] but this was demolished in the 1990s, following the sale of some land for an office development.

The information displays were replaced in early 2009,[18] following a modest facelift in autumn 2008, which included new signage and a repaint.

[22] Network Rail upgraded the track and signalling infrastructure on the Calder Valley line in October 2018.

The same scheme has also seen track and line speed improvements carried out, in order to reduce journey times to Manchester and Preston.
