Transport Secretary Grant Shapps has written an article for
The Telegraph and Argus about the Bradford area rail services:
As the world’s first UNESCO City of Film, Bradford’s artistic exports are well-known. David Hockney, the Brontës, and the Alhambra theatre, are just some of its claims to fame.
Talent is spread evenly around the UK, but opportunity is not. In order to make sure that people are able to reach their full potential, it’s crucial that we have the connections and infrastructure in place to support them.
I’m convinced transport is the best way of achieving this and allowing this town to flourish.
Last year the Prime Minister promised that we would give the railway back to the places where it was born. The first decisive step has now been taken.
You could sum it up as--Make the Bradford railway great again.
The Guardian has an obituary for writer Fiona MacCarthy:
She grew into a natural swot, who set herself alight reading Charlotte Brontë by the nursery fire and realised that words would be her way out of her stultified world. (Veronica Horwell)
In
The Times, actor Sir Derek Jacobi speaks about a little bit of everything, including 'old-school actors'.
There are those who say that Sir Laurence was over the top, but he did some wonderful things. His Heathcliff was wonderful. (Andrew Billen)
