Happy New Year Mr Boogie. Another great video from Leeds. Let's hope it's a good one for all of us. 🤓

Happy new year!

The electrical gap is Neville Hill to Church Fenton, not Colton Junction. Leeds station to Neville Hill was not electrified until the Airedale and Wharfedale lines were done - ECML trains didn't need to go to Neville Hill.

Yes. This video went for production a while ago. Apparently Neville Hill was energised in March 1993. The extension from Colton Junction to Church Fenton must be recent. Presumably the first part of the project to close the gap. It isn't even showing as planned in my 2017 track atlas.

@@BoogiesTrains The Church Fenton was very recent. It was energised sometime this year.

Happy New Year Boogies Trains. I still think that electrification from Neville Hill to Church Fenton should continue so that TPE and Northern can run electric and bi-mode trains on AC 25kv OHL from Leeds to York.

Happy New Year Andrew.

Will the york to Blackpool service be electric once the transpennine project is complete?

[@BoogiesTrains]

I think it goes via Blackburn so I doubt it unless it is rerouted.
