    1803 EC Service KGX - Skipton

    Can't seem to find the answer in search engine? Does anyone know if this service is driven by a Leeds or London based driver? I travelled on it last Thursday; and was just curious, if there is a crew change or not? Thanks for any information.

    What happened at Micklefield 13/12/12

    Thanks for that. Hope they'll make a good recovery. Not good just before Christmas. On a lighter note, it seemed like an interesting diversionary route?
