We're fully intending to move out that way as soon as it's reasonably practicable (and we can find somewhere with garden that's affordable), although it's more likely to be Heb or Tod than Mytholmroyd. The trains have always seemed ok to me, but then I've never had to do the rush hour on them.

Not just me that's seduced by the pretty hills, then?
Maybe we'll both end up mainlining coffee on the 730am train out one day.
You bring the paper, I'll grab some croissants?!?

Hello from a Mytholmroyd resident!

Trains are pretty reliable. It is a fifty minute ride, whether you get the train via Halifax and Bradford or the "direct" one via Brighouse and Dewsbury (and stopping at every bloody place en route.) The direct one does, apparently, get rather rammed, but there are going to be more of those soon as well as the half-hourly trains we already have.

In Hebden they have four trains an hour (even without the new direct trains), because the Blackpool trains stop there and not with us.

In short, the transport works. Come on out here, the hills are lovely!

Thank you! :)

As a regular commuter, although I commute east rather than west, the train ride is a decent time to catch up on reading. Or play Tetris on your laptop. OTOH it's wise to factor in the travel from the stations at either end too-my commute is over an hour taking that into account.

Thanks, and that's a good point. Based on experience and
