Move to Bradford Interchange?
editAs the first paragraph description states this is both a rail coach and but station, would a move to "Bradford Interchange" therefore be appropreate, as this currnently forwards here?
Swap
editThe current table on bus routes is a little bit obstructive and should be at the lower end of the page. What's more the interchange is better known as a railway station and has been one for much longer (Bradford Exchange). I propose having details on the rail services first. Any objections?

- No objection from me. The bus information is perhaps a little overkill; at best, it deserves to be towards the bottom of the page. NRTurner (talk) 12:15, 4 October 2010 (UTC)
- It is alphabetical, but as the table get squashed by the infobox this has to go lower down the article, just as the rail route boxes go later in the article. Keith D (talk) 12:51, 4 October 2010 (UTC)
Suggest- Separate articles for Bradford Exchange and Interchange
editWhilst I appreciate that it was in effect a resited station but please consider separate articles.Steamybrian2 (talk) 10:09, 16 April 2019 (UTC)
- Steamybrian2 Whilst I veer towards agreeing with you, part of the problem is that some sources (not all) list Exchange as having opened in May 1850 and then never closing.[1][2] (Cobb does not give a closure date, just a resiting date [1st/2nd]).[3] The station was moved 200 yards (180 m) south and was named Bradford Exchange from 1973 until 1983, when it was renamed Interchange. Happy to create something on the redirect page for Exchange, but I think we need an agreement that it is needed rather than an expansion of the History section of this article.The joy of all things (talk) 19:55, 16 April 2019 (UTC)
- I agree. The old station was demolished and this is the new one built on the site of Goods depot and not the first station. The first station was a 10-platform cast iron arched roof building, it's incongruous to merge two different buildings albeit having the same purpose. 81.141.32.36 (talk) 20:46, 8 March 2021 (UTC)

hailed european design?
editWhat is so european design about the station? The interchange-idea is not overly common in europe and the architecture appears to be pretty generic 70s/80s design. --92.201.160.120 (talk) 16:24, 9 January 2021 (UTC)
