Also the two Burscoughs, Corkickle & Whitehaven. If the occasional bus or ferry is allowed, then can I suggest McGill's bus from Largs to Wemyss Bay, because it would be a shame to miss out Wemyss Bay station.

I suggest Teesside Airport instead of Middlesbrough

Maybe one for Carol Vorderman, Not local, but then neither is Mr Farage.

There's no good reason for any rail replacement bus to be using this underbridge. Any replacement buses between Brighouse and Huddersfield would logically use the A641 Huddersfield Road. On days when there are also replacement buses to Huddersfield via Deighton or to Halifax, there would still...

The current (June) Saturday service at Huddersfield consists of an hourly stopping service on the Penistone line, an hourly stopping service to/from Piccadilly, and an hourly service to Brighouse, Sowerby Bridge, etc, Victoria. It's quite frustrating that almost none of them connect well with...

Stalybridge.

That depends who is travelling, and when they are travelling. And so it also depends on who you are travelling with.

The Bradford to Huddersfield service hasn't been operating, and won't be operating any time soon, because of TRU works. Even if it was, on many weekends the route between Bradley Junction and Marsden through Huddersfield has had bus replacement. Many places on the west side have no Sunday...

This is the one at Clayton Bridge. I didn't know it as Berry Brow. As I recall, it's on a steep hill where replacing it with a road bridge would not be practicable. Were it to be closed to traffic, any alternative road route would be several miles.

That may depend on whether the Labour government reinstate the ranked voting system which used to apply to mayoral elections until the Tories decided to get rid of it.

Also a two vote margin (Lib Dem incumbent over Reform) in Saddleworth South, Oldham borough.

No, Jenrick's seat is elsewhere. Specifically Newark, which as Jasper Carrott used to say in his stand-up routine, is an anagram.

But it's not a four track railway between Huddersfield and Manchester. It's three tracks between Huddersfield and Marsden (preceded by a two-track section through Springwood and Gledholt Tunnels), then two tracks to Stalybridge. Most stations on the Calder Valley already have two trains per...

In an attempt to find out something about their candidates, I looked on the local Reform facebook page. There was nothing about local issues and nothing about the candidates. They was, however, a lot of obsessing about people removing their posters from lamp-posts (along with a post about how...

I'm voting for the candidates who I think are best equipped to represent me on my local council. There may be quite a few others doing the same. I'm not making a judgement on what I think of Starmer or Farage or any of the other party leaders. I apologise for not treating this as an opinion...
