The train now standing…

I went today to York to interview two new directors of Northern Rail…and discovered a major flaw in their stupid new Calder Valley timetable which sends trains speeding through Littleborough where they have just put upa sign saying “Alight here for Hollingworth Lake and the Rochdale Canal”.

One train in three now doesn’t stop at Littleborough, a station which does not appear on the timetables at York or Leeds. So I jumped on a train at Leeds and only knew it wasn’t going to stop at my station until it had set off!!!
