The Sandman: I got hooked. Bought volumes 2 and 3 today at the Leeds Corn Exchange. It's great, but i get through them far, far too quickly

Leeds Corn Exchange: a very different shopping centre. Very intense- so much colour and vibrancy in a small, oval-shaped building. Narrow raised walkways and steep steps. The roof is dizzing and disorienting: criss-crossing geodesic ironwork coming to two points at each end.

Leeds: I've never seen the city centre before: the wide streets, the harmony of victorian and modern architecture, the street entertainers. It is quite beautiful.

Leaping on a train bound for Manchester Victoria at Leeds Station: won't get you back to Huddersfield. You wanted Manchester Piccadilly.

X6: a limited-stop bus service between Bradford Interchange and Huddersfield.

"Guided bus" lanes coming out of Bradford: not quite as cool to ride down them as you'd expect, but still
