Places to see in ( Castleford - UK )

Castleford is a town in the metropolitan borough of Wakefield, West Yorkshire, England. Historically in the West Riding of Yorkshire, to the north of the town centre the River Calder joins the River Aire and the Aire and Calder Navigation.

Castleford is the site of a Roman settlement. Within the historical Castleford Borough are the suburbs of Airedale, Cutsyke, Ferry Fryston, Fryston, Glasshoughton, Half Acres, Hightown, Lock Lane, Wheldale and Whitwood. Castleford is home to the rugby league Super League team Castleford Tigers.

Queen’s Park in Castleford provides evidence of Roundhouses used by the Anglo Saxons. This was a strategic area due to the views of the entire settlement. The history of the area includes Oliver Cromwell’s encampment in nearby Knottingley and Ferrybridge (originally thought to be in Castleford itself) whilst his forces laid siege to Pontefract Castle.

Castleford is only 0.93 miles (1.5 km) away from the M62 at Junction 32 via the A656 road. It has other A roads that criss-cross the town and provide access to Junction 31 on the same motorway. The River Aire and the River Calder have a confluence just north west of the town and also feed the Aire and Calder Navigation. Whilst it is an industrial waterway, it also hosts tourism with moorings on the Castleford Cut of the Navigation.

Castleford also had a second service to Leeds that left eastwards and swung north onto the former Castleford to Garforth Line, which would see services calling at Ledston & Kippax, before arriving in Garforth and continuing to Leeds.

Trains at Huddersfield - 17/09/2016

Filmed on 17/09/2016. Arriving at the final station of the day along the Leeds to Manchester mainline, welcome to Huddersfield (Season 3 Episode 65)

This had to be the final station sadly as this was because there was quite a few drunken heads on trains and at some parts of the platform. It was disappointing but at the same time, was thinking about the safety of myself and others as well.

We still got a good variety as we see trains heading for a variety of destinations including: Leeds, Wakefield Westgate, Manchester Piccadilly/Airport, Liverpool Lime Street, York, Middlesbrough, Scarborough, Newcastle and services from Selby as well.

It was mixed traffic and stint to be honest but got chatting to a local train enthusiast who has seen massive traffic but was well worth talking to him. One train we did miss that morning was the Northern Belle with two DRS class 68's on it but never mind.

The next video is a nice train ride between Huddersfield and Stalybridge on a 156 Sprinter unit with their local stopping services to Manchester Victoria.
