    Leeds Gateline

    They don't work if the place you buy them from doesn't print on them as highlighted above. This is to the annoyance of the poor gate staff who have to go miles out of their way to flash a card so you can get through while tutting at you.

    Strange looking freight routes

    Worst Pacer squealing

    The Shipley and Leeds mentions above are true. The junction entering Leeds is really bad and the shipley curves make even the 33's squeal
