Funny you should say that, now it’s effecting the Airedale and Wharfedale lines, it was the main story on yesterday’s Look North
(You can see what they said on BBC iPlayer)
Haha - typical media - it's fine for stations in South Yorkshire to go down from a half hourly train to every ninety minutes (assuming that Northern do manage to run their "reduced" service, of course), but when there are services reduced in
West Yorkshire, it suddenly hits the headlines... some things never change, eh?
Feels like local trains here are the most ignored part of the most ignored franchise, well down at the bottom of the food chain!
Currently suspended from January, the Saturday only Sheffield Midland to Cleethorpes via Brigg service does not even have a replacement bus service from say Retford to Barnetby to at least connect the communities to some form of railway service elsewhere.
That's poor - it was a lovely day yesterday, lots of crows at both Sheffield and Leeds - trains buoyant with the stag/hen nights, the racing crowds, the groups that you get when there's no "big" football games on - yet nothing from South Yorkshire to Cleethorpes - on a day when the railway could have made a killing from people heading to the seaside
