Quick question for the Railforums hivemind:
The Airedale line used to be four-track from Leeds to Shipley (and also Bingley to Keighley), and the Wharfedale branch was double-tracked throughout.
At some point the four-track sections were reduced to double-track and the Wharfedale Branch lines to Shipley and Apperley Bridge junction were singled. I'm aware that some track remodelling was then done in the early 1990s as part of the electrification scheme. However, I'd like to understand when the track reductions took place. Anyone know?
