A short walk thru Bradford takes us to Forster Square Stn.

The big hole, closed retail units and general lack of vibrancy made this part of Bradford seem a little sad. I am sure the revamped area around the City Hall is a big improvement though.

The big threat currently is to the Media Museum, the smaller of the three Science Museum northern outposts, due to budget cuts.

Its up against the NRM and Manchester Science and Industry Museums for funds

Class 333 for Ilkley was the first train out so on we jumped for a smooth departure from the really long platforms. Nice trains these electrics even if they are hand me downs.
