| This really is my local area as I live in Halifax. Loco-hauled passenger trains through Halifax are as rare as hen's teeth - just the odd charter - but there's a once-weekly scrap train from Laisterdyke, near Bradford that passes through. The same applies to Bradford - especially Interchange station although in earlier days it was busier loco-wise and still gets it's fair share of charter trains as this collections shows. Leeds station has always been busy although now diesel hauled trains are now a bit of a rarity, except for the odd freight that passes through and HSTs. |
