There will be changes to the timetable from Mytholmroyd from December 2008 - this will particularly affect Halifax and Bradford journeys.
Basically, there will be two trains an hour during the day to Manchester departing at xx.05 and xx.25 past the hour.
Two trains an hour will go to Leeds departing at xx.03 and xx.44 past the hour.
The xx.03 train will go via Halifax and Bradford
The xx.44 departure will go via Brighouse and Dewsbury.
That means from Mytholmroyd, it will be an HOURLY service to Halifax and Bradford.
The timetable changes are part of a national and regional strategy and Mytholmroyd has come out by far the worst. The following meeting explains the general picture.
Summary of the December 2008 Timetable - click on below;
For the full Caldervale timetable click below;
We (the Station Partnership) have asked for two extra morning (07.36 and 08.36) trains to stop at Mytholmroyd to cater for the Halifax and Bradford commuters.
There was no support for this at the public meeting with Northern Rail management on 30 June.
However, if you will suffer hardship because of the new timetable, you are urged to contact
as soon as possible with details of that hardship

Received the following from Metro
Please note that alternate rail replacement buses from Hebden Bridge to Bradford Interchange each hour on Saturday 12 July have been retimed
later at xx12 minutes past the hour in order to provide the minimum
guaranteed connecting time at Hebden Bridge out of alternate terminating
trains from Manchester Victoria, retimed to arrive at xx07 minutes past
the hour due to 4 minutes pathing time being inserted. The amended
timings are attached and replace those circulated in my email of 15 May
2008. This is repeated below for information. Signalling work in the Greetland area will prevent trains operating
between Huddersfield and Halifax and between Mirfield/Halifax and Hebden
Bridge all day on Saturday and Sunday 12/13 July 2008. Limited spare
rolling stock resources available on Saturday will also prevent Northern
operating a full timetable on each unaffected leg of the Caldervale Line
service.
On Saturday in each direction Leeds - Hebden Bridge via Brighouse
trains will terminate at or start from Dewsbury with connecting buses
between Dewsbury and Hebden Bridge calling as advertised. Leeds - Manchester
Victoria trains will terminate at Halifax and restart from Hebden
Bridge with connecting buses between the two separate trains. York -
Blackpool North trains will terminate at Leeds and restart from Hebden Bridge
at advertised times with connecting buses between the two separate
trains. Selby - Wakefield Westgate trains will terminate at Leeds and
restart from Huddersfield at advertised times with buses connecting out of
the xx03 Leeds - Halifax trains between Halifax and Huddersfield calling
Brighouse. Wakefield Westgate - Selby trains will terminate at
Huddersfield and restart from Leeds at advertised times with buses between
Huddersfield and Halifax calling Brighouse connecting into the xx49
Halifax - Leeds trains.
On Sunday Leeds - Manchester Victoria trains will terminate at Halifax
and restart from Hebden Bridge with connecting buses between Halifax
and Rochdale. Manchester Victoria - Leeds trains will terminate at Hebden
Bridge and restart from Halifax with connecting buses between Hebden
Bridge and Bradford Interchange. York - Blackpool North trains will
terminate at Halifax and restart from Hebden Bridge at advertised times,
but there will be no specific buses from Halifax to connect out of these
trains only connecting buses into the Hebden Bridge - Blackpool North
trains from Halifax, which will themselves connect with the xx37 train
arrivals from Leeds. Blackpool North - York trains will terminate at
Hebden Bridge and restart from Leeds at advertised times with connecting
buses between Hebden Bridge and Halifax. York - Huddersfield trains in
each direction will terminate at or start from Halifax with connecting
buses between Halifax and Huddersfield calling Brighouse.

Friday July 11
Meeting outside the Good Shepherd at 14.00 we do one hours garden maintenance - becoming quite a fun event. If you are free we’d love to see you.
Yorkshire in Bloom
We expect the Yorkshire in Bloom judging this month.
Not only is the station included, but also the village green, the Good Shepherd and adjoining residents.
It is going to be a great Community/Neighbourhood entry - whatever the outcome.
We will see about having a ‘do’ sometime after we have been judged.
We have to thank the local sponsors, together with Hebden Royd and Calderdale Councils for their support.
A Steamy Break from planting the Tubs!

Please note that the engineering works at Mill Lane Junction and

The flower tubs on the station are maintained by volunteers from the Station Partnership - BUT, the fine displays would not be possible without the support of our local sponsors:-
Firth Glass, Lord Accountants, Sabrosa Restaurant,
Milley’s Cafe, Whitesands Travel, Beauty Clinic, Valley Electronics,
John & Lynn at Shoulder of Mutton, Sue & Geoff Mitchell.
Thank you all.

Caldervale Line

Journey times will be extended and buses will depart Manchester Victoria and York earlier than normal in order to connect. Details are included in new Metro timetables from 18 May 2008.
