Northerns Leeds-Wigan via Dewsbury services are routing via Bradford/Halifax with the first calling point being Sowerby Bridge on departure from Leeds. This mornings York-Stratford upon Avon charter also routed via Bradford which is a rare event for charters on this stretch of line...
Can’t say for sure but looking at RTT 158792 started the service at Carlisle and terminated at Skipton, I believe Thackley Tunnel near Shipley was flooded preventing it running to Leeds, I expect the service was then partly reinstated from Sheffield to Nottingham.
158826 made for an unusual sight in Huddersfield today heading to Doncaster on 566C 0729 Cardiff Canton Sidings to Doncaster Works Wagn Shops.

Morning, can anyone advise if Southern 313201 is out today, hoping to get a photo of it whilst I’m in Brighton for the next couple of days from today. Just it’s current working provided it’s out today will be great I can work the rest of its diagram using RTT. Thanks in advance
It was quite a rare experience taking a class 333 Skipton service out of Leeds from platform 16 on Monday, some services are not stopping at all stations after Shipley and stop only at Bingley, Keighley and Skipton (or certainly the 09:41 that I was on was all stops from Leeds to Shipley then...
I miss the regular hourly service on the Huddersfield-Wakefield-(Castleford), it’s a fairly regular journey i make to Wakefield, which since COVID I now have had to switch (hopefully temporary) to the 231/232 bus to avoid having to travel via Leeds. This service just runs a couple of times a day...
Yeah the Hull to Leeds services generally leave Hull within 7/8 minutes of each other
:06-08 minutes past each hour TPE (times vary by a minute most hours)
:15 minutes past every 2 hours (even numbered hours) NORTHERN
The same pattern is timetabled currently from December when the Northern...
Managed to capture 195021 this morning. I noticed it did not appear to have working destinations, only 195006 on the rear was displaying its destination of Leeds.

I would say platform 5 at Shipley with it been on quite a sharp curve, but also more difficult from the conductors perspective with visibility when dispatching the train, usually having to walk the width of the platform from the middle of the train when releasing and closing the doors.
I maybe wrong but I believe the 158’s which transferred a few years back from Scot Rail to Northern (158786 etc) travelled between Haymarket and either Heaton/Neville Hill via the ECML thus covering the Dunbar-Berwick section.
I guess you could add Leeds to this with the current one way system in place. To get to platform 17 from the main entrance once through the tickets barriers it involves walking the length of platform 8, across the far footbridge then walking the length of platform 16 to reach 17.
