Brilliant Train Service.
Although only a very short journey from Leeds to Kirkstall Forge (Bradford Forster Square) it was a truly enjoyable last part of train journey. 9 carriages! Lovely clean train, comfy seats, very pleasant staff. Could certainly teach horrendous Cross Country Trains several lessons, especially the number of carriages required for comfort and especially safety.
