In terms of Leeds station, the report mentions that they are going to increase capacity at the station whilst at the same time designing the Leeds Metro so that it reduces the heavy rail demand for local routes. The NPR services are also expected to be through services that turnback at York (or...

It's about a mile from the southern exit of Bramhope tunnel to Horsforth station, a matter of minutes on the train currently. I can't see how it can be feasible for a service to stop at both stations, I doubt a 170 would even get up to speed in that distance before having to slow down again. If...

Is this bit correct? I was under the impression that they'd decided not to double track and spend all the money on improved signals/points between Knaresborough and Poppleton. Apparently that will allow them to achieve 2tph between York and Harrogate. If they have dropped double tracking it's...

It's one of a number of constraints between Harrogate and York: Level crossing at Starbeck for the A59 where traffic quickly builds whenever a train arrives Two significant single track sections, Knaresborough-Cattal and Hammerton-Poppleton Bottleneck at Skelton Junction Semaphore signals...

https://www.harrogate-news.co.uk/2018/06/26/plans-on-track-to-reopen-historic-railway-station-near-knaresborough/ Sounds like an interesting proposal. If they do it right and everything that is being proposed (new village, science park, p&r) comes off then this could be quite a heavily used...

So something like this then: How would this affect the cycle path? Presumably the new track would simply align alongside the cycle path going from Harrogate to Bilton but it would need to intersect the cycle path from Starbeck at some point. With regards to reinstatement to Ripon as well...

As far as i'm aware the improved timetable for December is 4tph between Leeds and Harrogate, with 2tph all stops and the other 2tph being express services calling only at Horsforth, along with 2tph Leeds to Knaresborough between 10:00 and 20:00 on Sundays. The line is supposed to be running 170s...

I've been through that thread but the last post was in April 2016. I've seen a statement from NYCC dated October 2016 regarding funding for the feasibility study that mentioned that Network Rail was considering opportunities for a diversionary route between York and Newcastle. It went on to say...

Given the government seems to be cancelling railway projects left, right and centre does anybody have any information about the plans for the Harrogate line? Last i'd heard North Yorkshire County Council had allocated funds to double track some of the route between Knaresborough and York but...

I had this issue and asked the attendant why. Turns out the mobile tickets work fine when you are leaving the station but due to a software issue they return ticket won't work when you try to go back into the station.

I live in Harrogate and work in Leeds. Plenty of people do drive into Leeds and there is ample parking, however, the traffic is horrendous and parking is expensive. From my experience: Car - If I set off closer to 7am it will take significantly less time, probably about 50 minutes but...
