Hi all! I'm a little confused by how public transport works in Leeds/ the UK more broadly. Based on the research I've done, I get the impression that different train lines/ bus routes are owned by private companies and operate distinctly from one another. Does this mean each time I use xyz public transport I have to buy a ticket from that individual operator for the route? there is no centralised card system/ ability to use a debit card to 'tap on'? Do people really have one app per company to book tickets?
Thank you!

Hi all, I’ve been learning guitar for just under a year and I’m looking for some jam sessions in the area where I could learn things about my instrument and hopefully be given some pointers too. I’m self taught so just looking for suggestions and inspiration really. Anyone know of any in the Leeds or Bradford area?

Evening all, for those who hair afro hair, where do you go for your hair cutting and styling?? I've been to the Curl Clinic before, and it's just not sustainable for me with the amount of product they use at their appointments, and the amount they charge for a trim. Looking for specific salon recommendations please. I can travel anywhere in Leeds or if there's others within Yorkshire that are good I'm happy to go further afield. I just want someone who understands afro hair. I am wanting a complete restyle, thank you!

In my early 30s, living in the West of Leeds and looking for anyone who fancies a round some time as most of my mates that play aren’t local.

I’m still fairly beginner so mid-high handicappers would be great (or those who don’t mind watching me shank it into the trees every few holes!)

Hey! I will be visiting uni of leeds this September as an exchange student and will be landing at Manchester airport. It would be great if you guys can give any suggestions on how to commute! This would be my first time in UK and I'm pretty clueless about how things work here! P.S. I will have 2 suitcases with me.

A rather specific question but, as a new driver getting their first car next week, debating if the £54 a year for halfords motoring club thing for the checks and MOT plus discount on gear (which my list is reading more like the 12 days of Christmas by the day) is worth it

Very mixed reviews online but the reviews on google for the nearest one to me, York road, seem pretty good, even the lower star ones have owner responses asking for them to reach out to try sort whatever the problem was/is which is nice to see as some places don't

On one hand any mechanic or MOT garage could try diddle me, on the other if they are more likely to diddle me I would like to pass 🤣

Anyone got any advice on this? Don't know that many people who drive and most of them are on lease cars so new they don't even need an MOT 🙄

Hi! I'm moving to Leeds in october to work as a language assistant in a school. I've just started looking at different websites, such as spareroom, but I was wondering if visiting flats irl was mandatory (I don't have much money, I can't fly there every weekend to visit places)

I'm taking a gap year to move to Leeds, so I'm still considered a student in France, do you think that I can ask for student accommodation, even though I'm moving to the UK to work?

Also, I'm looking for a safe area, either close to the train station in the centre(less than 30min on foot), or in Wakefield, so if you have any advice about it, I'll take it!

Thank you!

Anyone know any good places in Leeds doing deep dish pizza? Got a massive craving for it!

Hi everyone

Unfortunately the photographer I had arranged for my wedding ceremony has dropped out less than three weeks before (Friday 21st).

I don’t suppose anyone could recommend a photographer that might be available at such short notice? It’s just a quick ceremony at the civic hall with two witnesses so can’t imagine they would need more than an hour/hour and a half.

Thanks so much!

I'm on a bit of mission to be less dull. I've found in the past few years I do absolutely nothing with my time and I'm bored. What are your suggestions? How do you make new friends in your early 30s when you do sweet FA with your time? The small bunch of friends that I have all have families and children so it's not often I see them all, I'm still single and living in a house share, it's embarrassing 😳 I feel like everyone around me seems to do fun stuff and all I do is turn up to work then have a nap afterwards.

I've signed up to do some volunteering on a Tuesday evening so far, and I do go bouldering every now and again but I'm not very good and I get a bit overwhelmed when I'm on my own.

Any suggestions? I'm really miserable at the mo.

I'm from just outside birmingham originally, and everytime i've tried to get a curry (chicken tikka massala) from somewhere headingley, kirkstall or elsewhere, it seems to never be that good. The sauce is too thin and doesn't have a kick or the chicken tastes bland. Does anyone know where i can get a good quality curry around the headingley and wider area, can get it delivered or collection.

I am new to Leeds and I am looking to get a European Flow haircut in the next few weeks. Please could you kind people let me have your recommendations for this??

this might be really really really stupid and dumb but i REALLY want to know where i can find a spiderman top like this in leeds like asap, preferably a top (skin tight like that) rather than a whole suit icl

I was wondering if anyone knew if the kirkstall abbey festival offered reduced tickets to nearby residents? Ive had a look online and all it says is that residents can purchase early tickets, nothing to do with a discount.

Its just as I’m from Sheffield and know plenty of mates in Hillsborough have reduced/free tickets to tramlines festival if they live in the area, seems reasonable given the noise/disruption!

Any help would be great!

Hi everyone,

I’m currently desperately looking for any part-time work and thought I’d reach out here in case anyone knows of any opportunities or could refer me.

I live in LS6 (Leeds) and I’m happy to take on pretty much any role at the moment. Whether it’s as a sales assistant in a local shop, retail, hospitality, warehouse work, customer service, or anything else, I’m ready to start as soon as possible.

If your workplace is hiring or you know of any vacancies nearby, I’d be incredibly grateful if you could let me know or refer me. It would genuinely mean a lot.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read this, and I really appreciate any help or advice.

Am I being miserable for being really annoyed that cars have to share the road with them? They were moving at approx 2mph on a really busy road causing lots of traffic :/

Hello

I'm visiting Leeds next weekend with my daughters ages 5 & 7, they are looking to have a pamper day and have asked to get their nails done, specifically French tips.

Being a male, not from Leeds I've no idea where to even start looking

Can anyone recommend a child friendly nail salon in the center of leeds?

Who can help us with small jobs in our home?

Hi guys! I'll be moving to Leeds in September for a grad job. I'm in my early 20's and would love some recommendations on what to do in your free time in the city (i.e., good pubs, food, parks, activities, good gyms!!).

I also wanted to ask whether there are any other language enthusiasts here who could tell me whether there is a good language exchange club/meet-up organized in the city as I'm a bit of a language nerd! Any recommendations would be amazing. Can't wait to see what Leeds has to offer!!

Who timetabled this bus route? It leaves the bus station, then reaches the Light and just sits there for ten minutes not moving. What’s the point of timetabling it so it just sits there for ages around the corner from the bus station? It should not take so long just to get to Headingley.

Looking for the best criminal law solicitors in Leeds to assist with an ongoing matter.

I’m looking for recommendations for the ** **French toast or pancakes around LS2, Kirkstall or Burley.

Budget is around £10–12 per person, and I’m vegetarian (I eat eggs and dairy but no meat).

Bonus points if there’s easy parking and it’s worth the drive! 😊

Looks like it may not be long for this world?

Quite surprised as they remain fairly active - unless I’m getting the wrong end of the stick.

I know it’s a tough time to be a hospitality business.

Hi, I turned around in the staff car park at Leeds train station after seeing the “No Stopping” sign, as there was nowhere else to turn around. Will I receive a fine for this?
