· Leeds – Settle/Carlisle · Leeds – Morecambe · York – Selby · Leeds – Wakefield - Knottingley · Hull – York · Manchester Piccadilly – Sheffield · Kirkstall Forge (more calls) · Some Calder Valley services speeded up through Rochdale Official info direct from Northern. 8001F said: Three key improvements to rail services in Yorkshire will not happen in May as promised because of delays to an electrification scheme in the North West. Northern was hoping to run four services an hour between Leeds and Harrogate and introduce a fast service between York and Leeds via Micklefield as part of proposes timetable changes. But the planned improvements, as well as an extended service between Huddersfield and Castleford, via Wakefield, have been postponed, with no set time for completion. The rail operator announced today that trains would stop twice an hour in both directions at Kirkstall Forge station, in west Leeds, compared with the current rate of one every hour. There will also two trains an hour between Leeds and Knottingley/Pontefract, and an extension to the service between Leeds and Southport, via Dewsbury and Brighouse. From May 20 extra services will run between Leeds, Lancaster and Carlisle on weekdays and Sundays. |
