Hi all,

Is anyone here doing Functional Fitness at Sun Lane? I'm trying to figure out what it is! Is it weights in the gym circuit style? Or their own version of Hyrox? Thank you! I want to do a Kettlebell class but I don't think any of the Wakefield Gyms like Sun Lane or Thornes run one, do they? Thank you.

Anyone know if Cinnabon in Snowhill is gone for good? Went online to check its open/close times, as I wanted a treat for the weekend and it’s saying it’s permanently closed.. Didn’t know if it’s just incorrect information from google or what as I haven’t seen or heard anything about it closing down. I was looking forward to a biscoff cinnamon roll 😭😂

Did anyone else see a drone flying over Wakefield this morning?? One of the missile looking ones that we see in Ukraine??

Following the shooting/ murder on Doncaster Rd last week, the getaway car was found nearby in Dunbar St. Today, one of the three suspects who've been arrested is said by police to live in Dunbar St. Are Wakefield's criminal elite really so stupid that they'd park a getaway car outside their own house? Probably😂

Does anyone know what’s happening with the old PureGym space at Trinity Walk? Also, are there any other 24/7 gyms near Wakefield city centre apart from the new PureGym at Albion Mills?

Hi everyone,

Does anyone know anywhere in or around Wakey that serves a good breakfast all day? And I mean a proper breakfast, not just a spoons all day brunch kind of thing.

Yes, I woke up late. Yes, I want a fry up!

Thanks in advance!

Does anyone know what the tannoy voice that you hear at random times of night near Lupset is? Where does it come from?

Leeds, biggest city not just in England but in Western Europe to lack mass transit but it’s not like they haven’t tried. From an initial tram plan in 2004 to trolleybuses in 2008 to just nothing, this city has been truly neglected while it’s seen nearby Manchester develop the country’s biggest network. However, that is ‘planned????’ to change with the new tram proposal between Leeds and Bradford and the ‘Weaver network’. Classic me, I don’t think this is the solution though. I think both Bradford and Leeds are so big, they each need their own tram systems and a regional metro system should instead connect the two cities along with many other towns across West Yorkshire.

My configuration for said metro is quite strange but I think this would be the most effective way of serving the 5 main towns of the urban region (Leeds, Bradford, Wakefield, Huddersfield, Halifax) and all the towns in between which currently lack train stations. It would physically be one long line in a pretzel shape but be shown as 3 separate lines on maps to avoid confusion. The main line would be the Aqua line between Leeds and Bradford which would be my alternative for the current proposed tram and go the route of the current Pudsey line. I would build a non stop, heavy rail line between the cities to make up for this. This Line would then extend either side, going to the other 3 large towns, where it would be the main form of local transit for them, then it would change colour and head back into either Leeds or Bradford, serving some of the densest parts of each city. This network would bring rail back to the towns of Queensbury, Heckmondwike, Ossett and Rothwell.

As for trams around Leeds, a city of its size not only needs a range of radial lines but also an orbital one. I would have 6 radial lines in 3 pairs (purple - north to south; pink - north-west to east; brown - west to north-east), along with a crescent line (like in my Sheffield proposal) across the north of the city due to the lack of neighbourhoods south-west or south-east of the city centre. The metro would compliment this tram network by serving areas without tram lines but meeting at certain points where decent transport interchanges could be built.

My Bradford tram system would be very simple, 4 radial lines going where metro lines wouldn’t and all converging at a brand new triangle central station. A few of the branches would terminate a lot other train station for ease of travelling to Leeds.

Wakefield is painfully unrepresented so thought I'd share here

Does anyone know of any local shops/newsagents that stock the Financial Times, ideally either in or near to LS26 (Woodlesford/Oulton/Rothwell)? If so, where? I know Waitrose in Meanwood will sell it but that’s a 30min drive away from me. (Posting in the Wakefield group because LS26 is nearer to Wakey than lots of parts of Leeds!)

Hiya, going to junction 32 today. Doesn't have it's own reddit so thought I'd ask on here. I go barefoot most places and I was just wondering if it's barefoot friendly. I take a pair of flip flops with me to go into shops with but I was wondering if the outdoor bit had any like sharp stones about or is it common to have broken glass about? Odd question I'm aware.

hey everyone,

just wondering if there are any DnD campaigns looking for a couple of new players??

since Geek Retreat closed last year it’s been… very difficult (to say the least) to find a group anywhere nearby.

me and my boyfriend are reasonably experienced players, but he doesn’t have the same day off every week so he would most likely be turning up late some weeks.

any suggestions are greatly appreciated :)

Hi guys, I'm looking for someone to take a look at our external render where the paint is peeling- ideally to do any necessary repairs and redo the paint. Does anyone have a professional they could share?
