May 2018 - Changes to times of train walks from 26 May 2018
(updated item)
Following the introduction
of the new rail timetables on 20 May 2018, the train times
for most of our walks have now been changed and are different
to the ones printed in the December 2017 to June 2018 (lilac
coloured) Guided Walks leaflet. The majority of walks will
be from the 0919 Leeds to Carlisle train, but some walks
will be from other trains, so please read the information
in our Train Walks section
carefully, which has now been updated with the revised details.
Full details of our guided
walks for the public from July through to the end of the
year have now been added to the Train
Walks section and a new Guided Walks leaflet will
be available in due course.
