    would this bother you?Or would you 'expect' it on a train?

    Halifax 156

    I don't know if this is of any interest to anyone, but I just got off a train at Halifax only to see a five car unit leaving with the late running 1329 Blackpool - York service formed of 156428 +158759. This is unusual as 156s haven't been seen around west Yorkshire for some time, let alone Halifax.

    Some possible new stations?

    HUNSLET PARKWAY. This would be located at Balm road next to the spur to the Middleton railway. This would be ideal for the morning commutors into Leeds as the tail of the traffic jam generaly starts at Junction 5. There is decent road access from the M621 though the car park would have to be...

The station would consit of a single platform and would use the frieght line running via...
