Castleford Diversions

[Bayum]

Does anyone know the routes Cross Country will take between York and Leeds, and Leeds and York on Sundays until the 7th September?? Or are they just running as usual?? I got a Metro Timetable today, and it said that Long Distance Services between York and Leeds and Leeds and York would be diverted via Castleford, so I was wondering how this would work??

Via Castleford - you answered your own question!

Well some are running 'as usual' as many night services are booked that way

It's not an uncommon route to use, and I believe TPE and XC sign it anyway. Saying that, last Sunday was the first time I had an HST during daylight hours that route!

TPE learn it on Overnight services, Xc learn it as 1625 Plymouth to York goes that way and the 1825 goes via Doncaster and Hambleton to keep knowledge that way.
