As far as I am aware the Manchester-York service is a fixture, not a diversion, taking advantage of the new platform at Castleford.

There doesn't seem to be any reason for the transfer of the Huddersfield-Leeds service in the Northern track access application, and the main track access application for TPE refers to a seperate 61st amendment, which I cannot trace. My guess is that there will not be enough 185s.

Makes it inconvenient from getting from South Manchester/North Cheshire to Leeds. Just one 'direct' train from Piccadilly to Leeds per hour, so up to an hour's connection time if your local service is only hourly.

It can actually be faster to do Stockport to Sheffield/Meadowhall and then pick up a Leeds train from there. Although, not a permitted route unless you use multiple tickets.

Noticed the ASDO at LEG still needs updating for 6 car 185s
