That is a real shame, I'd have loved to have gone there as a kid. Main issue now days is anyone who going to travel in lower half of The North for a day out to a transit museum would just go to York cause it bigger and better known.

I could not agree with you more about the tramway. I used to help out at the West Yorkshire Transport Museum off Manchester Road. My idea of the Spen Valley line being opened up as a heritage line was laughed at by certain high up boffins. They got an omlette in the face, not just egg. The one reason I recall vividly is that Bradford area already had the Keighley Worth Valley Railway and would compete with it. Even telling them that enthusiasts go where steam or diesel heritage is. Damn fools, the lot of them. You don't want to know how much the commity paid out for the Transperience name!

I think that a new road to Low Moor from the M606 motorway should of happened when the new Low Moor railway station was built.

Should have left it at Ludlam Street instead of creating Transperiance. Hard to get to and expensive
