点评:I used to have fond memories of my student days in Bradford, now I just remember the two bus lane fines I've had there in the last year. The most recent in December 2024 happened when I tried to follow the usual road into the grotty centre where the Holiday Inn Express is located, found the road system changed, found half the City Centre dug up, and eventually found the way in but after I had driven down a so-called 'bus gate' lane, the one about which Bradford City Council lost an appeal because of poor signage in 2019. I suspect that the signage was messed up by road works but as I can't prove that, and I have absolutely no desire to go back, I will pay up.
However, I will not be back to stay in the Holiday Inn Express nor to spend any money in this once well-run City. And to be clear, the Holiday Inn Express Bradford is a great hotel but it suffers the misfortune of being located slap bang in the middle of the bus lane/road works fiasco.
翻译:我曾经对我在布拉德福德的学生时代有着美好的回忆,现在我只记得去年我在那里被罚款两次。最近一次是在 2024 年 12 月,当时我试图沿着通常的道路进入智选假日酒店所在的肮脏中心,发现道路系统发生了变化,发现市中心的一半都被挖了,最后我找到了进去的路,但当我沿着一条所谓的“公交门”车道行驶时,布拉德福德市议会在 2019 年因路标不清而败诉。我怀疑路标被道路工程弄乱了,但由于我无法证明这一点,而且我绝对不想回去,所以我会付钱。
然而,我不会再回来住在智选假日酒店,也不会在这个曾经管理良好的城市花钱。需要明确的是,布拉德福德智选假日酒店是一家很棒的酒店,但不幸的是,它位于公交专用道/道路工程惨败的中间。
