The constables were in the Bradford West area, assisting with Neighbourhood Policing Team (NPT) officers. Two of them helped with reports of nuisance vehicles and also suspicious logs. The joint team discovered a blue Toyota in one of the Bradford Forster Square Shopping Parks, which had no insurance. It was seized, as a result. The third Special Constable helped seize two vehicles, both for no insurance or tax. One was a blue Volkswagen Caddy van and the other was a black Vauxhall car. Both drivers were reported to court for their offences.

LNER Class 800 Azumas parked at Neville Hill depot in Leeds on Saturday Disruption to rail services due to cracks in trains is expected to continue for weeks. London North Eastern Railway (LNER), one of the affected operators, posted a message on Twitter stating the issue is “likely to be going on for a number of weeks”. Hitachi Class 800 trains were withdrawn from service on Saturday for safety checks after cracks were discovered in part of the chassis of several trains. LNER has a reduced service on the East Coast Main Line, which runs between London King’s Cross and Edinburgh via Peterborough, York and Newcastle.
Rail disruption affecting West Yorkshire and many other parts of the UK will continue into Sunday after services were cancelled due to cracks in some trains. Hitachi 800 trains were pulled from lines on Saturday as a “precautionary measure” after the fault was found in some trains, and London North Eastern Railway (LNER) and Great Western Railway (GWR) have advised people not to travel on Sunday. The recently-introduced 800 series of trains have gradually replaced the ageing Class 91s on East Coast Main Line expresses, now operating services between London and Yorkshire stations including Bradford Forster Square, Leeds and York. Some observers on rail forums have questioned how cracks could have developed on a relatively new fleet, while others pointed out that previous trains had suffered faults shortly after introduction, before going on to provide good reliability.
