Huddersfield loses out once again.

Huddersfield - The North's forgotten Town!

You wanted a non bog cart. I think Huddersfield has gained personally. And when I look at the plans for investment (plus the citybus and service frequencies), I think there are many other places that could secure that title well over the head of Huddersfield.

All progress is good progress!

A train with no toilets and unlikely to result in an increase in frequency. Massive investment and a lovely white elephant trial.

A real waste of time

If I was Huddersfield, I'd be happier with my dozens of diddy wee 185s than worrying about Rotherham's glamerous combination of pacers and pretend trams...
