Transport
Bradford is served by two railway stations. They are Bradford Interchange, which is also the city's main bus terminus, and 1 mile (2 km) away from the ground, and Bradford Forster Square, which is 0.6 miles (1.0 km) away from the ground. Bradford Interchange connects to Leeds railway station for East Coast and CrossCountry train services, and provides First Bradford and Keighley & District buses to the ground. Forster Square, which provides train services operated by Northern Rail, also connects to Leeds. The stadium has no parking facilities available to supporters on matchdays. In 2000, as part of the expansion of Valley Parade, the club drew up a green transport plan in a bid to ease traffic congestion around the ground. Proposals included a new railway station on the line between Leeds and Bradford Forster Square, and a discounted bus service. No station has ever been built, and a discounted bus route was withdrawn because of low patronage.

Famous quotes containing the word transport:
“One may disavow and disclaim vices that surprise us, and whereto our passions transport us; but those which by long habits are rooted in a strong and ... powerful will are not subject to contradiction. Repentance is but a denying of our will, and an opposition of our fantasies.”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
