    New stations for Leeds

    I'd like to think that Platform W was a link to the past, as the former "goods" platform was originally part of Leeds Wellington Street. But I think the original intention was for reopening the existing two "goods" platforms between W and (old) 1 as platforms X and Y.

    Trivia - regular stations closest to Football League (and Scots league) grounds?

    Bizarrely Halifax railway station is slightly closer than Brighouse railway station. The nearest bus stop is around 10 minutes walk away (the buses don't pass Brighouse or Halifax railway stations).

    Line closure Bolton - burst water main at Moses Gate

    There will be no Northern services through Bolton until further notice. This situation is expected to impact rail travel south of Bolton for several weeks and is due to a burst water main and subsequent damage to a railway bridge near Moses Gate.

    09.47 Leeds To Carlisle

    This is an 'extra' to the two-hourly stopping service and I think was introduced as a relief service, I think it is a good idea to have 1 limited stop trip to encourage travel on the line. In another timetable was loco-hauled and had to get back to provide a peak-hour trip to Harrogate. Sent...

    Hamburg, Bremen and Lübeck

    Sorry I didn't mean you could do it in 9 hours, I meant you'd be on the train for around 9 hours plus a break in Lübeck (I haven't checked that) Tønder to Lübeck 4¼ hours (there's a 20-min connection somewhere en route) Lübeck to Szczecin 5 hours

    Hamburg, Bremen and Lübeck

    In fact you can cross into Dänmark to the town of Tønder on a S-H ticket. So three countries in a day? About 9 hours traveling time from Tönder to Stettin on RE trains plus break
