    Quickest route (I expect ;) ) Stanley Road, to Gaisby La, left at mini roundabout along Festival Ave and then head toward Fox Corner for Baildon.

    All sounds a bit complicated. Best just stay home and listen on the radio with a nice cup of tea.

    Now in Baildon.

    Travel took about 5 minutes longer than usual.

    Shipley was moving readily in both directions.

    I drove along Mannigham Lane.

    Canal Road showing as shut, but traffic from Shipley turning onto it opposite the old Oddfellows.

    White Abbey Road was open but roadworks are still at the end of Lumb Lane/Westgate junction.

    Thankfully, NO. :)
    My missus drove down to Skeggy yesterday PM ....... Her plus about 25 more have booked the whole top floor of a Hotel for a week. (Apparently a 'rota' in place - as with 5 kiddies - 3 adults on 'Baby sitting duties' each night.)
    Good news for me, as it's the first time in about 10 years I get to use the TV & Sky remote controls, LOL !

    The road is is expected to be closed for some time, which may have an impact on those going to watch the Bradford City game this afternoon.

    A statement on the club's website says:

    "Spectators' routes to today’s Yorkshire derby could be affected by the following closures:

    "Due to a blaze in the early hours of this morning, Canal Road is currently closed and the rail route between Bradford Forster Square – Shipley is blocked.

    "Wakefield Road/Bowling Back Lane roundabout is closed due to road works. Spectators can come in via the Manchester Road side of the city.

    A reminder to all supporters that the road closure on Midland Road that was in place last season will continue for all Home League Matches for this season."

    From national rail.
    Description



    All lines have reopened between Bradford Forster Square and Shipley, as firefighters have successfully extinguished the fire next to the track between these two stations, and it has been declared safe for the overhead electric wires to be re-energised.

    However, some trains may still be cancelled or revised as the service recovers.

    We anticipate a good service will resume by approximately 14:30.
