Services
Bus and coach
Local bus services run to many destinations, including Leeds, Halifax, Keighley, Ilkley, Otley, Dewsbury, Huddersfield and Wakefield, as well as services wholly within Bradford. Most services are operated by the First Group. Other operators include Arriva, Keighley and District and Halifax Joint Committee.
Coaches operated by National Express run from their own bays in the bus station to many town and cities within the UK.
The bus station is managed by Metro.
Rail
Bradford Interchange is on the Caldervale Line and is one of the two railway stations serving the city of Bradford. The other station is Forster Square, ten minutes walk away.
During Monday to Saturday daytimes, services run every 15 minutes between the interchange and Leeds, and hourly onwards to York and Selby respectively. On evenings and Sundays there is a half-hourly service to Leeds and usually hourly to York.
In the other direction there is a train every 15 minutes to Halifax with two trains an hour continuing to Manchester Victoria, one to Blackpool North and one to Wakefield Westgate via Huddersfield. Sundays there is an half-hourly service to Halifax with an hourly service on to Manchester Victoria and one train an hour alternates between Blackpool North and Huddersfield.
Grand Central Railway, a new open-access company that will initially operate services between London and Sunderland, has proposed to run services into Bradford Interchange using both the East Coast Main Line from Kings Cross via Doncaster under the name Grand Central, and the West Coast Main Line from Euston via Stockport under the name Grand Union.
Due to the geography of Bradford the station was built as a terminus. Trains have to reverse out of the station, and drivers have to change to the other end of the train.
Layout and facilities
The main entrance with the taxi rank and car park is on a lower level, while the train platforms and bus/coach stops are on a split upper level, both separate with pedestrian access. Downstairs in the central concourse there are a few shops, a newsagent, a cafe and sandwich shop and a fast food outlet on the train platforms, where hot drinks are also available. Toilets are located off the main concourse.
There is also a British Transport Police office and lost luggage desk, provided for passengers concern and safety at the railway station, with a separate security and lost luggage unit for bus travellers, on the bus concourse. A smoking ban is observed in all parts of Bradford interchange, and CCTV is also in operation with security officers and police regularly patrolling the station.
