30 miles - 777020
I thought that I had ridden my last 507 back in March but I was wrong. I only managed to ride 507029 because it was running seven minutes late. Departing at 1106 it ran non-stop to Hunts Cross arriving at 1120. The return journey at 1121 was two minutes late.

Some nice lines travelled there, two of my favourite English ones at least :)

Thanks. Both the Settle & Carlisle and the Little North Western are great scenic routes.
The days targets were to sample the TPE West Coast Kitchen and to visit the 24H Cafe at Hellifield.

30 July 2024 York

Todays plan was to get to York to travel on the 1258 TPE service. This is a recently introduced service from York to Manchester Piccadilly which avoids Leeds and runs via Milford Junction, Castleford and Wakefield Kirkgate to rejoin the normal route at Thornhill LNW Junction. The three car 185 unit used on the service was about 50% full on leaving York and most of the passengers seemed to be travelling all the way to Manchester. As the train stops all stations between Castleford and Stalybridge there was a fair amount of local traffic boarding/alighting especially in the Huddersfield area. Journey time is 102 minutes as opposed to 92 minutes via Leeds. At least you can get a seat on the service. The service only runs five trains each way at present but is due to go hourly from December. In my opinion a useful service.
