I was sat on the Castleford to Huddersfield service today and was impressed about how its popularity from Cass and Normanton is growing (7 on from Normy).
Why not extend the service eastwards to York. This would have the following benefits:
It would connect the Five towns area, which requires some regeneration, with York, one of the most successful City economies in the region.
It would provide much improved connectivity not only from the five towns, but also from Wakefield to the east of the country.
Wakefield gets an extra direct service to York, as do Deighton and Mirfield.
Sherburn gets a better service.
It could pick up Ulleskelf and Church Fenton, allowing York - Hull to be speeded up.
The benefits are myriad.
