Are you talking about the Post office that used to be on Well St or the Post Office depot adjacent to Midland Hotel/Centenary court that was going to become a shopping centre ?
The official plans show a Cathedral "hub" outside the old GPO/St Peter's House/Kala Sangam and one at the bottom of Cheapside but none in between on Lower Kirkgate.
None of which have anything to do with the Interchange, as the pedestrianisation of many city centre roads and rerouting the buses has been long in the planning
The guy on youtube is cherry picking the closed shops; Leeds has weathered the changes in the high street far better than most and there are still plenty of openings. However retail on the high street is rapidly becoming less important as food and entertainment venues become more relevant.
Agree, but it is somewhat relevant to a thread about Forster Sq.
Apparently, rents in Bradford (and Wigan, Bolton and Rochdale) are in the top ten of rent increases, apparently due to their attractive 'commutablity'. Expect more 'business' at Forster Square (and Interchange and the 'new' station). https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-68338400
OT, but I wonder (having briefly been a landlord!) if they were starting from a relatively low base in each case?
Will actually be called "Platform 0"?
Congrats to you, Harvey- 1000 messages not out!
I asked when I was there yesterday and whilst not confirmed, the staff said it would be the most logical solution to call it that with platform one being the next one across.
Won't it just be accessed from behind the buffer stops like the current platforms are? No need for a bridge at a terminus.
Exactly.
Yes.
No because the new platform is going to be offset further back.
"Hostile architecture" is not a "welcome improvement" in my book. How about doing something to solve the problem rather than shifting it elsewhere?

Welcome improvements.
Sadly Bradford Council is all about city centre vanity projects at a great cost that they can’t afford rather than solving actual problems to help everyone in their jurisdiction."Hostile architecture" is not a "welcome improvement" in my book.

The earliest for the Interchange reopening is September I’ve heard.
If that is the case (and other posters appear to be suggesting that it isn't) that seems utterly daft.
There's tons of room behind the gateline to extend the walkway behind the buffers on P1, and around to where the new platform will be.
Yes the platform will extend from the platform side of the gateline behind the bufferstops to access platform 0. Absolutely no need for any bridges or new entrances as suggested previously.
