With a variety of handy tools and great services available, it’s never been easier to travel around by public transport. New technology means you don’t have to wait around at bus stops, many buses and trains now have WiFi on board, cashless ticket options and more!
There are a number of bus services available from the new homes at Carrwood Park to and from locations including Leeds, Halifax, Bradford Interchange, and more. The closest stops can be found on Tyersal Lane, with further stops located on Dick Lane.
If your journey is over a slightly longer distance, travel by rail can be a great option! Bradford Interchange is the closest train station to your new home. Located around 3km away from your new homes, you reach the Interchange in around 15 minutes by both public transport and cycling.
Bradford Interchange is served by frequent services to Manchester Victoria, Huddersfield, and Chester. You can also access Leeds, Halifax and Chester.

Planning your Journey
There are now a number of great options available for those looking to plan a journey by public transport. There’s no need to spend loads of time flicking through timetables to figure out which services work best for you – online journey planners can do that for you!
Our guide to planning a journey by public transport has everything you need to know, including links to some of the great online tools.
Paying for your Journey
Catching the bus or train no longer has to mean fumbling around for change before hopping on to pay the driver or conductor in a rush! There are so many different ways to pay for your journey now that you may feel a little spoilt for choice!
It’s also important to check that you aren’t paying too much. Whilst paying for single or return tickets is OK for occasional or one off journeys, those who travel more frequently by bus and/or rail can save some significant cash by choosing monthly or annual passes.

Real-Time Information & Apps
Gone are the days of standing around waiting for your bus or train with little idea when it will turn up. Real-time information makes it easy to find out exactly where your ride is at, helping you plan when to leave the house, office or coffee shop.
Bus operator apps have proved to offer a real step change when it comes to real-time bus information. They display the exact location of your bus on a handy map, in a very similar style to the Uber app which many are now familiar with. If you are undertaking a journey by bus we’d advise that trying out an app is a must, and to help you out we’ve pulled together a handy guide to getting most from bus operator apps.
