Good Things About Leeds

The Good Things
- The road to Hull but beware the M62 also goes to that other place.
- Road to Bradford via Pudsey or any other road out of the city for that matter.
- The ring road so you do not have to go into the city centre – not that the Burghers of Leeds want any cars near their city judging by the atrocious parking and one way system. They might as well put up no entry signs!
- Leeds bus station a very convenient 1.2 miles from Leeds railway station. That’s the way the silly Burghers encourage the use of public transport.
- Only slightly better are the roads to Harry Ramsdens, Bryans and Murgatroyds gold plated fish and chip shops in Guiseley, Headingley and Yeadon.

Good Grief!
Poor old Leeds.
Ringed with beautiful parks and countryside, with a good city centre, yes, the bus stations a bit far from the railway station, but you fail to mention that there’s a FREE city centre bus that links the two and most of the rest of the city centre, every few minutes, monday to saturday, 6:30 a.m. to 7:30 pm.
And a vibrant city centre, not the derelict hole that is Bradford’s urban wonder.
All I can surmise, from your words, is that you’ve passed through, and listened to detractors without actually looking at the city, you’ve never cut out of the bustle of Briggate to have a lunchtime pint in Whitelocks’ edwardian splendour, gone to the Grand Theatre, strolled though the arcades, ambled around Kirkstall Abbey, oh, there’s so much more to Leeds than the road out.
