    Transpennine Route Upgrade and Electrification updates

    The road closure under Fitzwilliam St bridge has been extended from 31st June (Yes I know, but that's what it said!). Now closed until 26th July

    Could it be where the overbridge is to be constructed?

    Northern printed timetables

    The biggest miss for me is the combined West Yorkhire book that Metro produced, with the fold out map.

    Is there enough capacity for another stopping service between Leeds & Halifax ?

    To throw a bit of a curve ball here. When the 4 tracking is complete, would a service from Huddersfield up the Calder Valley to Hebden and beyond, be feasible or desirable.

    TOC football charters

    Also with Town Northern have put direct services back from Bolton. Horwich Parkway actually. (Also the Wembly special to the play off final and back, but that was a charter I suppose)

    Is the TransPennine Route Upgrade program upgrading the wrong route ?

    I certainly hope not. My personal experience of these services are they are rapidly gaining usage on the "new" section, east of Huddersfield. Increasing services should be on the agenda after the upgrade.

    Thankyou. I must e-mail Arriva to let their bus drivers know.

    West Yorkshire Rover, validity area and gap between Gtr M and WY?

    Can a WY Family DaySaver be started and/or finished by one adult travelling alone? Either meeting others later or leaving them at the end of the day?

    Could Bradford Interchange to Leeds be Metroised?

    Generally though, shopping centres seem to hate good signage on how to walk through them.

    Surely that's the West end of the station?

    Baby Sapphire's Wedding.

    Daughter getting married in Gelida, near Barcelona. I need to be there for Saturday 25th May. Decided I was interailing almost straight away. For decency's sake allowed an extra day for contingencies, but I am quite good at planning. 5 days Senior Pass a-ready I'm away on Thursday 23rd. Set off...

    Interail 4 days within 1 month Global Pass (1st Class)

    If it's similar to the LNER method it is really simple. I've recently booked the 7.15ish train Wakefield to King's Cross - 23/5 Just needed the interrail number.

    And we'll say, "I remember when all this was just grim, desolate, industrial wasteland. That were afore t'railway spoiled it with its modern fields and its up to date grassy banks"
