Hello!
Why aren't the hourly Huddersfield-Leeds and Leeds-York stopping services run as a through service?
Accepting for the moment that they are now run by different operators, and that the Huddersfield service arrives 11 minutes after the York service departs (so not a quick win)... you'd free up P13 at Leeds, meaning you could have the Sheffield semi-fasts terminate there and run longer trains via Castleford off P17 (or vice versa). Northern did something similar with the Halifax-Hull service which frees up platform space at Leeds.
Has it ever been tried before, or considered and rejected?
