Appears no Northern services for Bately, which results in a slight reduction in the number of daily services
Northern carried out a Stakeholder consultation so I would be extremely surprised if Metro had seen a slight reduction in the number of daily services at Batley and not said anything about it, whether Northern added in any Batley calls is a different question.
As someone who occasionally travels on the Hebden Bridge to Leeds via Batley service, I am baffled about this claimed reduction in services.
The current Northern morning service to Leeds is 6.46, 7.19, 7.50, 8.15, 8.46, 9.18, 9.46, then x.18 and x.46
The TPE service is showing as 6.33, 7.12, 7.35, 8.12, 8.34, 9.13, 9.34 and the x.13 and x.34.
Yes, less well spaced (and WYMetro certainly commented on that on many lines) but still 2tph. Where exactly is this reduction in service?
