    Removing Pacers from lines provides a smoother ride as well.

    That would possibly take longer than overnight for 2 weeks.

    A 142 experiences a very gallopy ride between Silkstone Common and Dodworth - the regulars don't bat an eyelid.

    I thought it was to allow Network Rail to erect lion proof fencing in the Shepley area.

    Something has gone badly wrong today. They claim over running engineering work looks like trains cancelled and replaced by busses all day must be a massive over run.
