Northern’s Post

🎉 Exciting news for Bradford City of Culture 2025. Yesterday, we unveiled 'The Bradfordian', a specially wrapped train at Bradford Forster Square. The event was attended by West Yorkshire Mayor Tracy Brabin and Councillor Susan Hinchcliffe leader of Bradford Council, for the new train art that celebrates the Bradford district’s city of culture status and three of its most famous creatives. The Brontë sisters, the critically acclaimed poets and novelists who grew up in Haworth, feature on a new train vinyl which also includes depictions of local landmarks like Bradford City Hall, Cartwright Hall, Alhambra Theatre and the statue of author J B Priestley. Mayor Tracy Brabin said: “The vibrant artwork on this train is a fitting tribute to Bradford and our region’s thriving creative industries.” The train will be seen by tens of thousands of people in the coming months as the Class 331 covers hundreds of miles on a daily basis while travelling across West Yorkshire. The Bradfordian will also be used by some of the Northern customers travelling to theatre and dance performances, live music events, film screenings and art exhibitions that are being held across the district this year. Kerry Peters, regional director for Northern in Yorkshire, said: “The City of Culture celebrations are already putting Bradford on the map and making a real difference to local people by boosting a sense of pride."
