Leeds to Goole permitted route(s)

[gazr]

I know of the limited service via Knottingley, but I'm wondering if via Gilberdike is a permitted route? I know this involves a double-back, but it's the most direct way. All planners seem to route via Doncaster. Thanks for any help.

Leeds and Goole are both routeing points, so we don't need to undertake a fares check.

Permitted routes can be found on Maps DO and HL.

Map DO gives Leeds - Doncaster - Goole
Map HL gives Leeds - Selby - Gilberdyke - Goole

So yes, travel via Gilberdyke is perfectly valid.

There doesn't seem to be any trains that stop at Gilberdyke to/from Leeds so if you did want to go that way it would be the via Brough fare to enable you to get a Leeds bound train

Yes the via Brough fare may be required.

It is possible to do the journey changing at Gilberdyke and avoiding Brough but not frequently and not quickly, e.g.:
