Stanley?

Not so, as that was a station on the Methley Joint Railway which we do not visit on this journey, whereas we are traversing the Bradford, Wakefield and Leeds Railway (as per the journey preamble)

???

I am a bit confused here - I can't see how to get to the Leeds & Bradford Railway via Holbeck Low Level and I am wondering whether we should have gone via the East & West Yorkshire Union Railway. Perhaps we should wait for guidance.

Not so, as we reversed at Leeds Central to traverse the final line on this journey...the Leeds and Bradford Railway (as per the journey preamble)

OBSERVATION

Copley Hill appears to have been a locomotive shed in the Leeds area.
