Yes, the tram service was surprisingly out of use for a few years, but is now back. The transport museum is based in the original main station (it was a terminal station and the present station has through lines).

Think Darlington Arena is used for Rugby (Union) and Withdean is used for something...

The stopper from Manchester Victoria to Hebden Bridge, calling at Moston - arrives xx11, just after the 500 Brontë bus has departed at xx10 for Haworth and Keighley. Sent from my 4009X using Tapatalk

From Halifax, there's a convenient connection via Preston to Scotland. We used to stop in Inverness for a week, nothing much there, but handy as trains run in four directions, so a day trip every day to various places (rover tickets are available). Sent from my 4009X using Tapatalk

Ah, Leeds isn't a northern station.

The similar TVM at nearby Todmorden is currently oou, following a break-in (to be replaced by a cashless version). There have been similar occurrences throughout the northern network, resulting in a sizeable chunk of cash going, with the decision to replace all the TVM s with the cashless...

Sowerby Bridge - not on the original site Sent from my 4009X using Tapatalk

The Cloggies by Bill Tidy, early 70s - I had the books. Set in Lancashire, but can't remember the place.

The service was operated from the Yorkshire end before that as the 05xx ran ecs from Skipton. The reduced timetable also involved the 16xx from Lancaster/Morecambe only running as far as Skipton for a few years.

Recent-ish history ! 1970s most trains ran Leeds - Carnforth - Morecambe (passengers for Lancaster and connections changed at Carnforth onto the following train ex Barrow-in-Furness!) 1980s Leeds - Carlisle direct was reduced to two trains each way, and to appease passengers a new Leeds -...

I'm sure some of the evening peak Leeds - Hebden Bridge - Manchester Victoria runs are the same, 142 + sprinter 4-car combo, as noted by you.

The 0637 Leeds - Hebden Bridge - Leeds (0833) is a four-car sprinter+142 set, though I think it splits when back in Leeds. Sent from my 4009X using Tapatalk

Ah, I think the op was referring to the Morecambe North Curve (Bare Lane- Carnforth). Its former use was for Morecambe Promenade-Carnforth-Leeds trains (avoiding Lancaster) but around 30 years ago? services were diverted to run via Lancaster for connection with the main line. Of course the...

What about a family and friends rail card? You need 1 adult and 1 child, but the child can be an infant for conditions to apply? Though I think you can't travel first class though...

There's an interesting pamphlet by the local historical society available from the lighthouse in Lytham, all about when Lytham had a beach and why it's not there anymore. Sent from my 4009X using Tapatalk

The line ran from Heysham Harbour, then Morecambe to Lancaster Green Ayre, continuing to Wennington and Skipton. There was a link to Lancaster Castle station but as far as I know it was not used for passenger services. The Heysham Harbour portion did close for a while, reopening in 1987 and...

Solingen, there is a summer Sunday service not sure if monthly or weekly on the old number 3 route, terminating on the functional turntable (the present route 603 continues on the main road under diesel power) Sent from my 4009X using Tapatalk

Signs at Bramley (Yorks) refer to Blackpool and York but the Blackpool to York service doesn't stop there. Present service at Bramley is three tph up from 2 pH a few years ago.... Sent from my 4009X using Tapatalk

As mentioned beforehand, only the Bradford - Brighouse trains and short workings Bradford to Halifax/Hebden Bridge will call at LMR. Sent from my 4009X using Tapatalk

No it doesn't, there's an 0655 from Bradford Interchange on weekdays. Sent from my 4009X using Tapatalk
