Road, Rail & Access Issues

[LBA4EVER]

Major water pipe replacement works due 14th July until January 2026 between Rawdon Cross Roads and Green Lane Yeadon. Two way traffic signals just as a heads up. Just in time for peak holiday season!!!

Yes its the period where no schools are on and less folk at work due to travelling away so on any other road its the best period to do the works but this is one of the primary routes to LBA, so not the best situation!

Problems on the M62 is becoming an all too common occurrence.

Na! It's easier to get to Manchester than LBA apparently. Just down the M62/M60. No problem.

Until this happens, and then, all bets are off.

Ironically, and I hate to say this but we encountered no issues at all on our recent journey to/from MAN. No real surprise on the to as it was fairly early Sunday morning but the from was Friday teatime. Yes it was a little slower but only a little slower. So clearly very much luck of the draw me feels, although agree that darn motorway is getting ever more awful.

I’ve been fortunate so far to have never had a catastrophe on that motorway, however I’m fully aware that one is never too far away. I’ve had a 30 minute delay between Huddersfield and Rochdale (that’s how far the tailbacks were) due to 1 closed lane on one of the bridges, and I’ve had family members have a 4 hour journey from York to Manchester (centre). However that’s as bad as it’s got for me

Also due to my location I’m able to take alternative, though much slower, routes to Manchester.

However, the drive to LBA is much shorter, calmer and with much less jeopardy, so I’d choose that any day of the week

Well I will have the pleasure of travelling from Manchester in a few weeks time so I will report back on journey times.

I came back late on night about a month ago. M60 closed for roadworks and multiple lane closures on the 62, so good luck!

I'll be setting off in rush hour between 7am and 9am on the way out and returning at a similar time. Yes, so I'll need all the luck I can get.

If it gets busy come off at 24 or 22 and go through Denshaw and get back on M60 at either Hollinwood or Ashton UL.

Well I live fairly close to LBA so if I achieve a good time, the same applies the other way round too for all those LBA neighsayers

Always a gamble on the M62 when you’ve an arrival time to meet. Checking the traffic on your satnav route in advance of setting off will give you an idea of any delays although obviously it can’t account for accidents that have just happened where the tailbacks form within seconds.

 

[Hendi]

I frequent the 62 twice a week for work to north Wales if it's rush hour 7.30-9.30 am ish your usually crawling from j18 rite through to j12 maybe further but I come off there. if you come off at j20/j18 to go round the bottom it usually ques from j24 at Denton most the way through to the airport. Add a crash into the mix you can be sat there ages. Any other time of the day is usually OK unless there is an accident.

Used the train today to go from Glasshoughton to Bradford via Leeds. Whilst checking the Leeds departures online, I noticed that Leeds Bradford Airport was on the departures page. Apparently CrossCountry run a regular train service to LBA! What gives?

see here, it will probably show you the latest departures but there seems to be a regular service

They also show on the Real Time Trains website. Quite common for bus connections to be showing at various locations across the country such as Peterborough to King's Lynn

Don't let they who shall not be named get wind of this or else there will be a few cross **** ry members making even more noise about LBA

 

[Len Fish]

They got the Chinese in overnight to build the new line. All done and dusted by the morning and ready for use.

I think it's a hangover from when Arriva owned both CrossCountry and the Flyer services.

And just to add to all the current negative news, I have just seen a news link claiming that the affordability of the Parkway Station is being reviewed. Not been able to access the article

 

[alpha.alpha]

Ridiculous, whilst there is once again mention of the DSA station back in talks. laughable joke of a country

 

[Statto]

And just to add to all the current negative news,

What negative news? Have i missed something ?
