Ravensthorpe station

[Tom]

Something that I've not seen here, is a mention of the proposals for the junction at Ravensthorpe station.

Plans are to relocate Ravensthorpe station some 300 metres (to the other side of the main road essentially) in order to grade separate the junction

This however, would allow trains between Wakefield and Huddersfield to stop here - is this the closest we'll get to a Wakefield - Dewsbury train?

If trains between Huddersfield and Wakefield ever resume.

I heard from someone that the present timetable reduction (that sees this route back on rail replacement) will end in February so should hopefully see this return to trains again, just a shame that the hourly service wasn't sustainable, used it a few times coming in from Manchester to avoid changing in Leeds

Who decided the hourly service wasn't sustainable?
