Was it a pilot project to see how electrification could be rolled out in the North or was it the government throwing a bit of money toward one of their constituencies?
I know that it was done on the cheap meaning 225s can't draw power but if you compare the service to Skipton and Ilkley from Leeds and Bradford with those out of say Manchester then it's probably one of the best commuter services in the North.
Would be great if we eventually saw electrification rolled out across the Pennines through the Calder Valley line and linking the likes of Blackburn and Burnley to Manchester in the same way.
