JUNE 2024 TIMETABLE CHANGES Calder Valley additional calls Mondays to Saturdays 1J32, (Manchester Victoria to Leeds via Halifax ) Sowerby Bridge 2231 Mondays to Fridays, 2J33 (Wigan Wallgate to Leeds via Halifax ) Mythomroyd..... 2303 Sowerby Bridge 2308 Actually got excited when I saw Sowerby Bridge but nope we still get the same crap 2 trains per hour junk. The Manchester FAST services or the Blackpool service should stop at Sowerby Bridge again. 2TPH is a good service given the location and frequent bus service to Halifax from Sowerby Bridge. South Elmsall and other towns on the Northern network only benefit from 1TPH, recently quite full around peak hours due to shorter sets.

South Elmsall and other towns on the Northern network only benefit from 1TPH, recently quite full around peak hours due to shorter sets. but not a good service considering we had 3 trains per hour in 2019, and the train station is pretty busy. Halifax is a town that lacks relevance, most people go for job opportunities in places such as Leeds and Manchester hence why it would be useful to gain that extra train an hour back. Also Sowerby Bridge has a far greater population and catchment area compared to the likes of South Elmsall and Fitzwilliam
