RE: Northern (Arriva Rail North)

Quote:Arriva Rail North (ARN) is seeking contingent access rights to operate one additional
weekday service from Bradford Interchange to Leeds calling at Bramley and New Pudsey.
The service will operate using a Class 180 which is being leased from Grand Central.

This service is being introduced until December 2017 to allow ARN to undertake a complex
DMU rolling stock cascade that will cover existing services once the remaining 170s are
released by Transpennine Express.

In order to free up units to implement the rolling cascade two existing services will be
shortened.
1. 06.59 Huddersfield – Leeds
2. 06.46 Manchester Victoria - Leeds

The new service between Bradford Interchange and Leeds will pick up the capacity from the
shortening of the services in order to allow us to carry our passengers into Leeds in the
morning peak.
