I note that there is a train strike on Saturday on Northern rail and that the last traun from Bradford Foster Square is 17:39. Now thinking it maight be problem getting back from Bradford any one have any alternative public transport ideas.
From what information i can find at the moment,the last train leaves Bradford Interchange at 18.00 arriving Leeds at 18.21,i will provide more information later this week,hopefully. Dep Leeds 11:07 arrive Bradford Int 11.30 Dep Leeds 12.07 arrive Bradford Int 12.30 Dep Leeds 13.07 arrive Bradford int 13.30
You can also get a bus from the interchange to Leeds, it takes between 40/50 minutes though. If you take the taxi option phone one, don't use the taxi rank at the station.
Last season the team returned from Bradford by train,hopefully whoever organises their travel is aware of the disruption.
This is an absolute mess !
We book early to obtain the best possible fares and now this .
Starting to make me reconsider the decision to go.
What trains are you booked on?
We're on the 11.03 from Kings Cross, due to arrive at Leeds at 13.14 for our connection to Bradford Interchange which we'll miss as the last is due out at 13.07.
Our return booking is out of Leeds at 19.45 IF we can manage to get on the 18.00 out of Bradford Interchange for the connection.
I booked later departures both outward & return so that we wouldn't have to leave Wadhurst at the crack of dawn and we could have a relaxing drink near Bradford station before leaving for home.

If there aren't any convenient trains to Leeds, or depending where your starting, you could even get a train to Manchester then to the interchange.

Straight from LNER twitter.
12:00/12:28/13:01 there.
18:00 back, or 17:00 if we’re 3-0 down.
