15 December 2019 - Train Walk Changes on
Saturday 28 December (updated item)
Northern Rail are operating an alternative
timetable on this date meaning that trains on the Settle/Carlisle
lines will start from and terminate at Skipton. Therefore
a separate train will need to be used between Leeds and
Skipton in both directions.
Our two walks will go ahead as per their advertised
routes, except they will be from an earlier train from Leeds.
For both walks, please catch the 0854 Leeds
to Skipton train, then the 0959 Carlisle train from Skipton
to Settle/Horton.
