    Trains Delayed on the West Yorks Triangle

    Does anyone know why my train from Shipley (10:08 to Skipton) is delayed? The conductor has announced an operational incident is a reason for the delay? Can anyone shed anymore light?

    It's quicker on the X63 to Huddersfield by bus than the train.

    Are modern trains faster than steam? Bolton to Manchester Vic

    I've noticed when using this line they the train (normally a 158) will arrive early at the stations and then be forced to wait 60-90 seconds to depart in time. Too much padding has been put in the Bradford to Man Vics.

    Wires down between Shipley and Kirkstall Forge 02/07/2019

    From what the driver of the train told us, they (control?) sent a rescue train which once coupled up to the broken down train started tripping out the wires and caused further delays. Over 3 hours sat in the afternoon heat with the grandchildren wasn't ideal but we had no other alternative.

    Wires down between Shipley and Kirkstall Forge 02/07/2019

    Does anyone know what is going on with the wires between Shipley and Leeds? Nothing is moving and people are threatening to go down on the line to get off.

    Can you tell if a service is going to be strengthened?

    It's the first Bradford to Manchester train at 8.41am. My brother and some of his rugby friends have persuaded me to go watch the rugby but when buying the tickets at Bradford this afternoon the ticket office man said they'd already sold a lot of tickets for this train as it's Pakistan vs India...

    When will something be done about the Whitby branch ?

    I love doing this line but as others have said it can be unpleasant when forced to stand the majority of the way on a pacer in the summer weekends.

    Northern Unit Refurbishments

    Why not just couple them up together and run them as pairs? Obviously, refurbish the insides and give them a good clean.

    Northern Unit Refurbishments

    Well my Northern 153 has just detached by the 158 it was pulling out of Bradford Interchange. Are there plans to refurb the 153s?
