    Random Skipton to Leeds express train

    This train takes the path of 2h89 which now terminates at SKI so have to be semi fast. It seems to form the 2h60 1741 from LDS to SKI stopping service every weekday. Probably just changes in stock movement and a potential gap in service if no replacement train at 1256.
