So, still got to change at Leeds. Gah.
Cant believe they are citing 'competition issues'. Isnt that the entire idea of a privatised railway?
Plans for a direct Huddersfield to London train service have been rejected by the Government regulator.
Great North Western Railway (GNWR) had hoped to run six return journeys a day from London to Leeds via Huddersfield from December 2018.
But the operators proposal was rejected by the Office of Rail Regulation (ORR) because of insufficient capacity at the southern end of the West Coast Main Line and competition issues.
