[Xenophon PCDGS]

Bowling Junction?

Sorry, not so, as that station lies in the Bradford-bound direction on the LYR Calder Valley Line, which we do not use on this particular journey.

HINT....We are heading in the Leeds-bound direction.

Armley Moor?

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Armley Moor?

Sorry to be something of a Job's comforter but I think that the journey preamble might have offered some guidance (GNR Ardsley to Laisterdyke Line) as the next station after Dudley Hill is in fact Laisterdyke......(It was at Laisterdyke where we would reverse and take the line of the Leeds, Bradford and Halifax Junction Railway from there into the Leeds area, where there is another closed station before the closed station of Armley Moor.)

Laisterdyke

Correct......

Holbeck High Level

Remember from here we access the line of the Leeds and Selby Railway.

 

[Whistler40145]

Leeds Central

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Leeds Central

Not so, as the Leeds and Selby Railway ran in the opposite direction to the line that entered into Leeds Central, but there was the avoiding line that would have been used from Holbeck High Level to access the line of the Leeds and Selby Railway.

 

[Whistler40145]

Hunslet?

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Hunslet?

Not so, as Hunslet is the first station outwards from the original terminal station of Leeds (Hunslet Lane) of the North Midland Railway.....we are currently heading outwards on the line of the Leeds and Selby Railway.
