    2026 UKR railtours

    If they'd rather have empty seats then make a bit of cash from folk in Airedale, that's their choice. Or is it just an admission that the main party of the tour holds very limited appeal?

    Services you've done end-to-end

    Class 175 both ways, thankfully. Another interesting one to add - the "coast to coast" service from Penzance to St Ives.

    A great ticket for bashing Class 68s, especially after December when there'll be one every half hour.

    Do “Through train” enthusiasts exist?

    Thankfully not. There used to be a Paddington to Edinburgh service back in the 80s. I remember a magazine article where the reporter did it throughout.

    How do you solve a problem like Bradford?

    That's what I thought, but other posters have corrected me. The new station will replace Interchange according to announcements.

    How do you solve a problem like Bradford?

    Increasing the distance and hence minimum connection time between the two Bradford stations will make cross Bradford connections even less attractive and funnel even more passengers through Leeds.

    Who are Yorkshire's big winners and losers in the NPR reboot? I'm genuinely confused.

    Doesn't happen in Manchester. Won't happen in Bradford.

    Who are Yorkshire's big winners and losers in the NPR reboot? I'm genuinely confused.

    Maybe that's the plan - close Interchange to encourage more passengers onto LNER's virtually empty services between Leeds and Forster Square. So passengers will have to pay twice. Marvellous.
