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.

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

 

[752]

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 ?

 

[Bigman]

What negative news? Have i missed something ?

DSA reopening and losing the Wizzair Gdansk

 

[752]

What negative news? Have i missed something ?

Ryanair reducing

 

[SierraHotel]

61 weekly flights is still a reasonable offering in my humble opinion.

 

[Finger66]

Absolutely and that's just Ryanair. It has been said numerous times that LBA winters are nowhere near as quiet as they used to be

I believe the proposal was due to move to the 'business case' stage this Autumn.
