    Just heard that canal road is currently closed due to AWM waste plant being on fire. Add this to no trains between Shipley and Bradford, Wakefield road being closed, top of Manchester road being closed and cleckheaton to chainbar being closed. Good luck to everyone getting to the ground today!!

    Make pumps 15 at large waste management site,

    15 fire engines from across the brigade plus 2 aerial appliances and support pumps in attendance.

    update at 0600 hrs, 11/08/18; Local residents are advised to keep doors and windows closed due to the smoke coming from the incident. Firefighting still in progress, using 2 Aerial appliances, 8 jets and 10 Breathing Apparatus.

    Location
    Waste Management Site, Canal Road, Shipley

    Yeah - From my wifes back garden (3/4 a mile away) at 05.45 this morning saw large clouds of 'rust' coloured smoke, by 06.30 this was more a dull grey, with the odd black plume. Just had another look, and all smoke virtually gone, but I would expect a fire crew presence for some time yet.
    An aside from that - Bar the smoke, there were clear skies early morning, but now quite a lot of cloud cover. It wouldn't surprise me if we had some rain, later ..... resulting in a 'fast' pitch for the game.

    I need to get to Baildon and then back to Bradford!!! Looks like it is only Canal Road that is shut.

    Yes trains cancelled, perhaps due to proximity to Canal Road, otherwise the 13.11/13.41 and the 17.16 back would have been good alternatives.

    All the other traffic issues have gone acording to the AA Trafic news. @Rocket@Rocket White Abbey Road now seems to be open!

    They had said 9am earlier and then moved it to 10am.

    Once the fire is out they will have to check and sweep all the tracks and electric lines for any damage etc

    The road had been closed earlier now open. The roadworks at the end near Westgate look as though they are long term so potential for congestion.

    Use this for up to date (ish) info. http://www.theaa.com/traffic-news/shipley%20uk/

    I would hope all will be clear by about noon. :)
    Just been out for a quick spin - Traffic around Festival Ave, Gaisby Lane and Stanley Road is above 'normal' for a Saturday morning ............. So I'm assuming Canal road is still closed.
