£15 million Bradford Forster Square station revamp will create 'welcoming gateway' to city centre
BRADFORD Forster Square station is in line for a complete transformation under a new £15 million project unveiled by transport bosses.
Work on the scheme could start in 2018 to coincide with a major boost to the timetables which will mean direct trains departing to London every two hours.
The station building would be completely rebuilt with a sweeping wood-and-glass roof, two glass-fronted lifts, a cycle hub and shops.
New 'pods' housing waiting rooms and other facilities would be built under the railway arches and a piece of scrubland next to the platforms would become a colourful wildflower meadow.
